The effect of silicon application on growth of spring wheat under organic farming
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
Application of silicon (Si) could greatly boost wheat yield and mitigate abiotic stress, especially drought. A field experiment was conducted during 2017- 2018 at the research farm. Evaluation of impact of different methods of application of two Si fertilizers on growth and parameters of yielding of wheat was made. The treatments consisted of the recommended dose of two used Si fertilizers – Adesil and ZumSil at 10 k g and 0,3 l·ha-1, respectively. Spring wheat cv. Arabella was used in the field experiments. The effect of silicon was assessed by measuring emergence, height of plants, density of spikes and the SPAD index. The number of plants emergence, the height of plants and density of spikes · 1m-2 were the highest after appli-cation of liquid ZumSil, regardless of the method of application. The study revealed a significant effect of silicon on plant.
