Silicon as a plant nutrient
January is when the coldest weather generally occurs in winter. For agriculture, cold temperatures can be beneficial. Many insect and disease organisms are reduced due to the freezing and thawing. Slug and vole (field mice) populations often decline, especially if the snow is not too deep to insulate them from the cold.
