e0“sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum ) and energy cane ( S. spontaneum ), cultivated in pots filled with a Typic Quartzipisamment”
e1“The treatments for both experiments were arranged in a factorial scheme 2 × 2, without (70% of the soil’s water retention capacity) and with (30% of the capacity) water deficit”
e2“The reduction in dry matter production of stems in both species caused by water deficit was due to modifications of the C, N and P stoichiometric homeostasis”

- Mechanism The stem dry matter reduction under water deficit was attributed to changes in C, N and P stoichiometric homeostasis.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply via fertirrigation increased stem dry matter production in sugarcane and energy cane.
- Observation The silicon benefit to dry matter was not a reflection of a change in C:N:P homeostasis.
