The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco\u2010friendly and non\u2010polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20\u2009mmol\u2009L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      to \u2018Peraleja\u2019 almond trees during two consecutive seasons to elucidate the effect on almond kernel quality at harvest.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The fresh weight, length and width of almond kernels treated with 20\u2009mmol\u2009L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      KSi increased by 27%, 31% and 8%, respectively, compared to the controls. Furthermore, almonds treated with 20\u2009mmol\u2009L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      KSi had a more elongated morphological appearance, while with 2\u2009mmol\u2009L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      KSi almonds were more spherical. Regarding nutrients, phosphorus and potassium levels increased in almonds treated with 2\u2009mmol\u2009L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      KSi, while magnesium content decreased with both KSi treatments.

In addition, significant differences in fatty acid levels were observed, particularly in oleic and linoleic acids. On average, the oleic\u2013linoleic acid ratio of almonds treated with 2\u2009mmol\u2009L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      KSi was 28% higher than those
