“…This increase in soil pH could be attributed to the fact that silicate materials can increase soil reaction and help in correcting soil acidity by neutralizing exchangeable Fe, Al and Mn and other toxic elements [19]. These results were also in line with that reported by some scientists [20,21,22,9].…”

“…It was stated that beside yield enhancement in rice, silicon also has many fold advantages of increasing availability of major nutrients and also alleviating iron toxicity problems in soil [24]. These results are confirmative with some findings [25,26,27,9]. Available N status ranged from 170.5 kg/ha to 201.7 kg/ha with lowest in T 1 i.e., Absolute control (No Fertilizer) and significantly maximum in T 9 i.e., 75% STD+ 300kg SiO 2 /ha.…”

“…Furthermore, it should be noted that Si application can alleviate the K-deficiency-induced growth inhibition by improving plant-water status via enhancement of stomatal conductance and transpiration rates [32]. The production of hydrogen ions during reduction of Fe and Al might have helped in the release of K from the exchange sites or from the fixed pool to the soil solution [9].…”

“…In general farmers export silicon from field by removing straw residues with the harvest and the exogenous application of silicon in rice is overlooked. Therefore, a continued supply of Silicon would be required predominantly for the healthy and productive development of plant during all growth stages [9]. The use of silica fertilizers in the form either soluble silicates or of calcium silicate slag is still very restricted.…”

A field experiment was conducted in the central farm, Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station, Coastal Zone OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India during kharif 2020 using cv-Lalat variety of Rice. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with ten treatments and three replications. In this experiment BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) slag was used as a source of silica for application to rice crop. 200, 300 and 400 kg SiO2/ha was applied in combination with 50% STD (Soil Test Dose) and 75% STD to assess the efficacy of Silica with reduction in fertilizer dose by 50% and 25%. It was shown that increase in number of effective tillers (7.8) per plant and length of the panicle (25.8 cm), but no significant increase was marked in case of 1000 grain weight (gm.) over control. In case of grain yield, straw yield and harvest index, 100% STD (T4) registered maximum (36.9q/ha) grain yield which was 29.4% more than that of control. Of course, grain yield in case of T9 i.e., 75% STD+300 kg SiO2/ha was at par 36.2q/ha indicated efficacy of silica application by reducing fertilizer dose. Harvest index was not affected by Si treatments. However, maximum HI (0.478) was observed in T9. Available N, P, K and S status in post-harvest soil was increased due to application of silica along with fertilizer over control indicated better availability of nutrients which plays a vital role in increasing production and productivity of rice. The study revealed that the DTPA extractable Fe and Mn content decreased, and Cu and Zn content increased with increased application of silica. Though 100% STD (T4) was found to be very effective as compared to other treatments but 75% STD + 300kgSiO2/ha was also equally effective so far as yield, growth attributing characters, available nutrient status of paddy.

In this experiment, Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag was used as a source of silica for application in rice crop. 200, 300 and 400 kg SiO2ha-1 was applied in combination with 50% Soil Test Dose (STD) and 75% STD in order to assess the efficacy of Silica with reduction in fertilizer dose by 50% and 25%. The result indicated that there was significant increase in number of effective tillers per plant and length of the panicle, but no significant increase was observed in case of 1000 grain weight over control. In case of grain yield, straw yield and harvest index, 100% STD registered maximum (36.9q/ha) grain yield which was 29.4% more than that of control. In case of 50% or 75% STD with 300kg SiO2ha-1 grain yield was at par with 100% STD, which indicated that silica application has the capability to reduce the fertilizer dose. Harvest index was not significantly affected by Si treatments. However, maximum HI (0.478) was observed in 75% STD + 300 kg SiO2ha-1. The present study showed increase in pH and organic carbon content in post-harvest soil which suggests that application of silica has the capacity to correct soil acidity and improve soil organic carbon in acidic laterite soils.
