dc.description | Ecuador maintains a tropical climate with favorable conditions for the production of various fruits such as watermelons. According to information from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Ecuador, it has approximately 4,230 hectares of watermelon plantations, the average annual production is 50,642 tons. The purpose of this work is to understand the use of silicon in reducing water stress in the watermelon plant (Citrullus lanatus L.). Silicon is the most common element on Earth that is not considered an essential element but is useful for the development and growth of plants, as well as overcoming the effects on biotic and abiotic environmental products. The properties of silicon help plant to withstand adverse conditions. In the case of plants, the stressor is the environment when conditions of drought or low water availability arise, called water stress. Several studies have confirmed the potential of silicon, because when it is absorbed by plants it is found as monosilic acid. Therefore, farmers do not know much about the potential of the elements that plants need, and in this case silicon is not considered as a nutrient for plants, so we have carried out this work so that they know about silicon as a new element in watermelon cultivation | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | Ecuador mantiene un clima tropical con condiciones favorables para la producción de diversas frutas como sandias. Según la información del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería de Ecuador, cuenta con aproximadamente 4 230 hectáreas de plantaciones de sandía, la producción media anual es de 50 642 toneladas. El presente trabajo tiene la finalidad de conocer el uso del silicio en la reducción del estrés hídrico de la planta de sandía (Citrullus lanatus L.). El Silicio es el elemento más común en la Tierra que no se considera un elemento esencial, pero si útil para el desarrollo y crecimiento de las plantas, así como la superación de los efectos en los productos ambientales bióticos y abióticos. Las propiedades del silicio, ayudan a las plantas a soportar condiciones adversas. En el caso de las plantas, el factor estresante es el medio ambiente cuando surgen condiciones de sequía o baja disponibilidad de agua, llamado estrés hídrico. Varios estudios han confirmado el potencial del silicio, porque cuando es absorbido por las plantas se encuentra como ácido monosilico. Por lo tanto, los agricultores no conocen mucho acerca del potencial de los elementos que necesitan las plantas, y en este caso el silicio no es considerado como un nutriente para las plantas, por lo que hemos realizado este trabajo para que conozcan acerca del silicio como un elemento nuevo en el cultivo de sandía. | es_ES |
