This review compares current knowledge on co-application of Si with selenium (Se), sulphur (S), zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), focusing on stress tolerance, nutrient homeostasis, physiological responses, secondary metabolism and agronomic relevance. The evidence indicates that combining Si with these elements helps maintain reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, strengthen antioxidant defenses, stabilize photosynthetic function and improve nutrient uptake, translocation and use efficiency. Responses depend on plant species, nutrient form, application strategy and environmental conditions; at the metabolic level, Si-based combinations affect the synthesis of phenolic compounds, amino acids and sulphur-containing metabolites. Si-Se and Si-Fe proved most effective under heavy-metal stress, through regulation of metal transport, detoxification and sequestration, and Si-S and Si-Zn under drought, salinity and nutrient-deficient conditions, by enhancing osmotic adjustment, nutrient-use efficiency, ionic homeostasis and photosynthetic performance. Agronomically, these interactions can increase crop productivity, nutritional value and biofortification potential, and mitigate toxic-element accumulation in edible parts. Knowledge gaps remain regarding molecular regulation, variability among species and environments, and the long-term effectiveness of nanoparticle formulations. Since most evidence comes from hydroponic, pot and greenhouse studies, standardized field experiments are needed to assess agronomic relevance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants15162463","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T08:08:29Z","timestamp":1786694909000},"page":"2463","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Co-Application of Silicon with Selenium, Sulphur, Zinc, and Iron in Plants: Mechanisms of Stress Tolerance, Nutrient Homeostasis and Secondary Metabolism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7454-8162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marija","family":"Poli\u0107 Paskovi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agriculture and Tourism, Karla Huguesa 8, 52440 Pore\u010d, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1887-9768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed","family":"Bouhadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biotechnology, Conservation and Valorization of Bioresources, Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences Dhar Mehraz, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Fez 30000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soukaina","family":"Lahmaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agriculture and Tourism, Karla Huguesa 8, 52440 Pore\u010d, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3937-3926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor","family":"Paskovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agriculture and Tourism, Karla Huguesa 8, 52440 Pore\u010d, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Sarwat, M., Ahmad, A., and Abdin, M.
