Silicon fertilization and soil water tensions on rice development and yield

Abstract: A B S T R A C TThe cultivation of upland rice (Oryza sativa) in Brazil occurs mainly in the Cerrado, a region with adverse weather conditions. The use of silicon in its cultivation becomes important, since this nutrient provides higher rigidity, lower transpiration and higher resistance to dry spells in rice plants. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of silicon fertilization and soil water tensions on upland rice development and yield in a Cerrado Oxisol. A 5 x 5 fractionated factori… Show more

“…Although DE OLIVEIRA et al (2016) found negative effects of silicon on the profiling and on the number of panicles in rice plants, possibly due to the higher absorption of silicon and lower absorption of phosphorus and nitrogen, favored by chemical similarity (460 and 490 mg dm -3 Si), there may have been higher absorption of silicon and less absorption of these two elements, which are essential for lamination and panicle formation. This subject is worthy of further study at the soil chemistry level.…”

“…Generally, continued water deficit conditions until the reproductive stage may result in a loss of physiological activity and water absorption, which may have severe consequences on rice yield formation. Increased soil water deficit from 0 to −60 kPa reduced grain numbers and seed setting rate (higher sterility percentage) in rice (Oliveira et al, 2016). Thus, variations in water regimes at anthesis and/or grain filling stages possibly reduced the filled grain %, 1000‐grain weight, and yield in rice.…”

“…Most research on the application of Si to improve growth and production has used synthetic inorganic material. Some materials commonly used as sources of silicon fertilization to plants are calcium and magnesium silicate (Camargo et al, 2013), sodium silicate (Azizi et al, 2016), silicon dioxide (SiO2) with 95 % silicon (Oliveira et al, 2016), and other inorganic materials. In this research, natural materials such as zeolite and sugarcane bagasse compost ( SCB) were used as sources of silicon because they are abundant in Indonesia (Yustinah, 2013) and are capable of improving the productivity of entisol soil.…”
