Title
Effects of Silicon on Yield and Grain Quality of Wheat
Julin Gao Mailei zuowu xuebao 2012
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect An appropriate dose of silicon fertilizer increased wheat grain yield, more so in Longmai 26 than in Kehan 16.
- Mechanism The yield increase in Kehan 16 resulted from more spikes.
- Observation Silicon fertilizer had no significant effect on wheat plant height and stem base diameter.
- Intervention effect Spike length of Longmai 26 increased with silicon fertilizer to varying degrees.
- Observation Silicon fertilizer had no significant effect on 1000-grain weight, test weight or grain protein content of wheat.
- Intervention effect In Longmai 26, wet gluten content, flour water absorption and paste fracture time were greatly enhanced by silicon fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Silicon fertilizer improved the extension quality of wheat paste.
- Recommendation Silicon at 30 kg/ha for Longmai 26 and 60 kg/ha for Kehan 16 is appropriate.
- Recommendation More silicon was not favourable for wheat yield and quality.
