• Silicon impedes stalk penetration by the borer Eldana saccharina in sugarcane (2007, background): “…in borer resistance of Si+ N11 to levels approaching that of Si– N33 (Figures 1, 2 and 3), confirming the findings of earlier studies regarding the importance of Si amendments in enhancing the resistance of susceptible cultivars in particular (Keeping & Meyer, 2002, 2006; Kvedaras et al., 2007).”
• Silicon‐mediated resistance of sugarcane to Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): effects of silicon source and cultivar (2006, background): “The results of this study support the conclusions from previous pot (Keeping and Meyer 2002) and field trials (Keeping et al. 2004; Meyer and Keeping 2005) that soil Si amendments in sugarcane can contribute significantly to reducing stalk damage by and performance of E. saccharina in Si-deficient…”
