In crop plants, various environmental stresses affect the balance of carbon, nitrogen, and
phosphorus (C: N: P), leading to biochemical and physiological alterations and reductions in …

Brazil has the largest cultivated area for sugarcane in the world, with a predominance of rain-
fed production systems (64%) and marginal areas that are subject to frequent water deficits …

Intensive fertilization of vegetables can promote phosphorus (P) toxicity. However, it can be
reversed using silicon (Si), although there is a lack of research clarifying its mechanisms of …

In many regions, nitrogen (N) deficiency limits pepper cultivation, presenting significant
cultivation challenges. This study investigates the impact of N deficiency and silicon (Si) …

Variations in the nutrients and water that plants require for metabolism, development, and
the maintenance of cellular homeostasis are the main causes of abiotic stress in plants. It …

Potassium (K) deficiency in maize plants damages the nutritional functions of K. However,
few studies have investigated the influence of K on C: N: P stoichiometry, the nutritional …

The cultivation of acai palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) is widely practiced in the Amazon
region due to its economic and nutritional value. However, to ensure sustainable and …

Background Nutritional disorders of phosphorus (P), due to deficiency or toxicity, reduce the
development of Eucalyptus spp. seedlings. Phosphorus deficiency often results in stunted …

Arsenic (As) threatens plant growth and human health because its harmful effects are
intensified by its persistent presence in the ecosystem. The absorption of As from the …

This study aims to evaluate whether increased Si content in maize and sugarcane plants
affects straw decomposition, stoichiometric ratios involving carbon (C), and nutrient release …
