Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect The presence of P and Si in the soil had a synergistic effect on soil Al, Mn and As (P < 0.01).
- Intervention effect The presence of P and Si in the soil did not have a synergistic effect on rice growth and P uptake.
- Intervention effect Wollastonite and slag application were more effective than foliar-applied Si in raising rice Si content (P < 0.001).
- Intervention effect Rice receiving foliar Si had a 42% improvement in biomass.
- Intervention effect Rice receiving foliar Si had a 25% improvement in tiller production.
- Observation No supporting evidence was obtained in these experiments to verify leaf surface Si absorption.
