Silicon (Si) has proven effective in controlling both soilborne and foliar fungal diseases in several crops. This study aimed to determine the efficiency of the product Armúrox (Bioibérica, S.A.), a formulation of peptide compounds with Si (PC+Si) to reduce the intensity of rice leaf blast. The spray of PC+Si showed great potential to reduce blast intensity as compared to non-sprayed plants.
