Silicon Accumulation in Leaves Reduces the Herbivory by Invasive Fall Armyworm <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> and Enhances the Yield of Maize

Fall armyworm (FAW) <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> is currently being considered as a serious insect pest in maize that causes significant yield losses worldwide. Silicon (Si) and plant growth regulators (PGRs) are known to induce resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses thereby enha...
