Effect of silicon sources on rice diseases and yield in the State of Tocantins, Brazil

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The intensity of rice diseases in regions with poor levels of silicates (Si) in the soil, together with high control costs, can make the cultivation of rice unfeasible. Surprisingly, there are scarce research data available regarding the influence of Si on rice diseases in tropical lowland regions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of three silicon sources on rice yield and disease management. Three experiments were carried out from December 2005 to April 2006 at an experime… Show more

“…Thus, the optimal rate of Si (10 g per pot) could reduce 24% of panicle blast severity. This result is in line with Santos et al (2011) that reported panicle blast linearly decreased with the increase of calcium silicate. The reduction of panicle blast disease severity could be due to a thick cuticle layer of 2.5 µm Si serves as a barrier (Yoshida 1981), and this cuticle-Si double-layer prevents penetration by fungi, which helps to prevent infection process (Ma and Yamaji 2008).…”

“…O silício, dentre os minerais utilizados para o manejo sanitário das plantas cultivadas, pode reduzir a severidade de doenças em algumas culturas (EPSTEIN, 1999;SANTOS et al, 2011). Foram registradas interações significativas entre as variedades de cafeeiro infectadas por Cercospora coffeicola e a presença de silício na redução da intensidade da infecção fúngica devido a ação fungistática proporcionada pelo silício (POZZA et al, 2004).…”

“…In addition, silicon acts as an inducer of antifungal compounds (Rémus‐Borel et al ., 2005) and the expression of pathogenesis‐induced host defence responses (Datnoff et al ., 2006). Efficacy of silicate treatment was also found to be efficient against leaf or panicle blast of rice (Datnoff et al ., 2007; Santos et al ., 2011). The effect of silicates on disease resistance has also been reported against other diseases including sheath blight of rice ( Rhizoctonia solani ; Peters et al ., 2001) and brown spot of rice ( Bipolaris oryzae ; Zanão Júnior et al ., 2009).…”
