Silicon is the second most prevalent element in the earth’s crust, and it is found in substantial amounts in soils. Silicon serves as a quasi-essential element for plants i.e. they are not involved in plant growth and metabolism but its deficiency causes a variety of irregularities in the growth and development, of plants. Silicon strengthens the link between plants and their environment as studies have shown that its presence increases plants’ ability to resist harsh climatic circumstances owing to the existence of natural anti-stress mechanisms that enable larger yields and higher-quality end products. Silicon has shown to lower metal toxicity, salinity, drought conditions and stress caused by extreme temperatures. To lower the environmental damage caused by the excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer consumption, alternative techniques must be developed for crops needing high nitrogen inputs, such as rapeseed. Due to this, the effects of Silicon supply on the agronomic performance of rapeseed farmed under field were examined and the results revealed that Silicon supply leads to better nitrogen efficiency in crop cultivation enabling good growth and development. Because of the large specific surface area, dispersion, and other properties, nanoparticles produced from silica are sophisticated functional materials that can be extensively employed in a variety of sectors. Silica nanoparticles are used as powerful antibiotics for deactivation of different bacterial strains, antibacterial agents, drug delivery vehicles, and in biological applications. As a bio-insecticide, nano-silica has shown encouraging results, and it may also be beneficial again
