Silicon Background
• Abiotic stress– Improved adventitious rooting (Moon 2008, Gillman
2000), Decreased leaf abscission (Gillman 2000)– Heat stress (Agarie 2008)– Drought Stress (Gao 2004, Agarie 2008)
• Horticultural characteristics– Flower diameter, stem caliper (Kamenidou 2008,
2005), branching (Moon 2008)• Little on Si & Greenhouse Crops
– Industry acceptance of Si as supplemental nutrient is uneven

Methods
• Plant material– ‘Prestige Red’ and ‘Peterstar Red’ Poinsettia
rooted cuttings– 6” Pots, commercial media.– Nutrition
• N 200 mg·L-1 (21-5-20) • Mg 30 mg·L-1 (MgSO4 · 7H20)
• S 32 mg·L-1 (MgSO4 · 7H20)
• Mo 0.1 mg·L-1 (Na2Mo4 · 2H2O)

Methods• Treatment design
– CRD, 15 replicates– Two way factorial of deficit irrigation and silicon
supplementation• 100, 80 and 60% RDI• Si 0 and 56 mg·L-1 (KSiO3) (2 mM)
– Statistical analysis• SAS V9.1 Tukey’s HSD with an α=0.05
– Irrigation water (RO) Si was ND and substrate Si concentration was 2.0 mg·L-1

Findings
• Si interacts with plant water status giving differential results– No or moderate water stress, Si decreased
height and bract area– Severe water stress, Si increased height and
bract area• Si improves lateral branch strength and
may reduce Pythium occurrence.

Findings
• Si supplementation forestalls wilt and may improve recovery from water stress
• There may be interactions with RDI and Si• Si supplementation reduces BEB in well
watered plants and may increase it in water stressed plants
