This book mainly presents the current state of knowledge on the use of of Silicon (Si)  in agriculture, including plants, soils and fertilizers. At the same time, it discusses the future interdisciplinary research that will be needed to further our knowledge and potential applications of Si in agriculture and in the environmental sciences in general.
