A Review on the Role of Silicon Treatment in Biotic Stress Mitigation and Citrus Production

This paper reviews the threat of citrus pathogens during citrus production, with a focus on two pre-harvest diseases, citrus leaf spot, caused by <i>Alternaria alternata</i> (Fr.) Keissl. (1912) and brown rot, caused by <i>Phytophthora citrophthora</i> (R.E. Sm. and E.H. Sm.)...
