Strategies to prevent environmental stresses by silicon fertilization in rice crop

Rice is the most important staple food crop for a large part of the world’s population, especially in East and South Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and the West Indies. As the population increases rapidly in these regions, the demand for rice will grow to an estimated 2000 million metric tons by 2030. To supply to this increasing demand, the methods of rice production will require significant improvement. Achieving this goal, however, is sure to be a challenge with respect to future climatic changes, which will basically be characterized by current global warming trends. The rise in temperatures and levels of carbon dioxide and uncertain rainfall associated with climate change may have serious adverse effects either directly or indirectly on the growth, development, and yield of rice crops. To cope with the unfavorable growth conditions, plants respond with a series of morphological, biochemical, and molecular adaptations, aiming at safeguarding the basic metabolic activities. All the unfavorable factor which limit crop yield may be consider as a stress. Silicon seems to protect plants from such types of stresses caused by environmental degradation. This can be managed by proper agronomic practices or developing resistance variety. Therefore, in this chapter we showed that how we can manage these stresses to boost rice productivity in changing climatic scenario while using silicon fertilizer as a protective agent.
