Abstract
Silicon is a necessary element in the development of sane plants. Its presence is known to affect the elongation of jute (Corhorus capsularis) fibers. The concentration of silicon in developing cotton fiber (Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. ) is high during the elongation phase of fiber development and decreases as the fiber matures. Thus, silicon concentration may have an effect on the development of the cotton fiber.Keywords
