ABSTRACT
As silicon (Si) is one of the copiously available elements, it has several beneficial impacts on soil and plant systems. It makes plants resistant against diseases, insect attacks, and other biotic and abiotic stresses. It maintains soil fertility by improving physicochemical properties of the soil, which consequently increases the availability of nutrients to plants. Nowadays, technology based on nonmaterials is increasing day by day, which has led to the production of nano-Si. The application of nano-Si from an agricultural perspective has been given a lot of attention by researchers. It has greater surface area than the bulk form. Due to higher solubility and surface reactivity, nano-Si helps in greater absorption of nutrients by plants, and it is also applied for mitigating stress conditions. So, the application of nanosilicon in agriculture systems has provided new solutions to problems in plants and food science to enhance the quality of plant products.
