Silicon reduces nitrogen stress and improves growth and yield of forage grass under excessive fertilization in tropical soils

Abstract Inadequate nitrogen (N) fertilization management in pastures is common and can lead to N deficiency or excess, resulting in physiological imbalances in forage grasses across different regions of the world. Silicon (Si) fertigation is a promising strategy to mitigate these issues due to its...
