Silicon, considered to be the second most abundant mineral element in soil, plays an important role in the mineral nutrition of plants. Silicon is readily absorbed so that terrestrial plants contain it in appreciable to fungal diseases, herbivory, and adverse chemical conditions of the medium. Silicon has been found to increase certain plant species resistance to fungal pathogen attack. All essential nutrients can affect the incidence and severity of plant diseases. Si enhances resistance of plants to diseases caused by both fungi and bacteria in different plant species. Sheath blight disease development were compared by two levels of plant spacing, two levels of silicon and inoculated and un-inoculated of R. Systems to reduce plant disease loss.

However, the insect-plant-silicon response is complex and not always and survival of southern chinch bugs as well as development of plant diseases.
