Silicon fertilization in paddy field
Keywords:
Paddy, Silicon fertilizer, Spike, Spikelets, Weight of grain, Harvest index percentageAbstract
Present study has been done to document the effect of silicon fertilization on various yield parameters of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in land farm under natural environmental conditions. In the current study, the comparison of application of 125 kg/hectare silicon fertilizer + basal fertilizer has been done with control (basal fertilizer without silicon). The significant rise of 88.89% in no. of tillers, 20% in effective tiller, 88.89% in no. of tillers per hill, 92.69% in effective tillers per hill ,4.08% no. of spikes per panicle, 99.16% in total spike in plant, 182.22% in total spikelets per hill, 42.98% in weight of grains/1000, 34.88% number of grain per panicle, 160.65% number of grain per hill, 38.96% grain yield, 30.93% husk yield, 3.41% harvest yield has been observed in crop grown in silicon fertilized soil than control. The results indicates that silicon fertilizer can be used in farm land of rice to increase the yield of paddy.
