Effect of Calcium Silicate and Potassium Silicate Foliar Application on Yield, Potassium, Calcium and Silicon Uptake of Rice Planted in Saraburi Soil Series
Keywords:
Calcium silicate, Potassium silicate, Silicon, Silicon accumulationAbstract
Silicon (Si) is considered a beneficial element. Several evidences have indicated the positive effects of Si on rice yield by alleviating several abiotic and biotic stresses. However, in Thailand, findings about benefits of Si for rice production remain poorly understood, especially for low to medium level of available Si in soil. This study aimed to investigate the effect of calcium silicate application and potassium silicate foliar spray on yield and nutrient uptake of RD 85 rice variety in Saraburi soil series. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) consisted of three replications and five treatments; control (T1), T2 was applied calcium silicate at the rate of 30 kg per rai (at 40 DAP), while the potassium silicate was sprayed at a rate of 2,000 mgSi per liter (at 60 DAP) in combination with a calcium silicate applied in T3, T4 and T5 (10, 20 and 30 kg per rai, respectively). The yield, yield components, total K, Ca, and Si content in different rice parts were analyzed at the harvest stage. The result revealed that the accumulation of Si was highest in the stem, followed by rice husk, leaf and brown rice, respectively. The application of Si resulted in plant uptake of K and Ca in above ground biomass higher than T1 and T2. In term of the application rates, T4 gave the highest yield, Si uptake in stem biomass and economic returns comparing with other treatments. Therefore, T4 is an appropriate rate to apply for Saraburi soil series, which contain soil available Si in medium level.
