    Silicon Accumulation and Photosynthetic Capacity of Dendrocalamus brandisii in Response to Sodium Silicate Foliar Application Across Vegetative Phenological Stages

    Silicon plays a positive role in plant growth and physiological activities; however, silicon fertilizer application in bamboo remains limited. This study explored the silicon accumulation and photosynthetic capacity of Dendrocalamus brandisii in response to sodium silicate (SS) foliar application across vegetative phenological stages. The results showed that August (shooting stage) and May (branching and leafing stage) were the critical periods for silicon accumulation. SS significantly enhanced the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), chlorophyll content, and photosystem activity (Fv/Fm, Fv′/Fm′), particularly in August and May. Correlation analysis revealed that silicon content was significantly positively correlated with photosynthetic parameters (Pn, chlorophyll a/b) and photoassimilate accumulation (soluble sugar, starch), confirming that silicon optimized leaf light capture and carbon assimilation capacity by promoting phytolith formation. This research provides a theoretical foundation for the application of silicon fertilizers in bamboo forest cultivation.
