Abstract
Silicon fertilizer raised leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight and inflorescence weight. The fresh and dry grass productions were increased by 16.4 %and 24.1 %, respectively; however, stem weight had no effect. When used during mature stage, Silicon increased significantly the stem dry weight and the root number. A pot trial showed that Si had not effected on seed yield of first year; however, significantly increased thousand-seed weight by 29 %.
