Abstract

One of the major problems in the paddy fields in northern Iran is the low solubility and availability of phosphorus. To solve this problem, the plant growth-promoting microorganisms and the application of silicon fertilizer can be appropriate way and assessed for rice crop as split plots based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in Amol region during 2017 and 2018. The spray of nano-silicon, the soil application of potassium silicate and calcium silicate and control condition were used as main plots. Phosphorus treatment including control, 100 kg triple superphosphate ha−1, 50 kg triple superphosphate ha−1 + Herbaspirillum seropodicae bacteria inoculation and 50 kg triple superphosphate ha−1 + mycorrhiza fungi (Gholusmosseae) inoculation were used as subplots. The results demonstrated that with the application of silicon resources, grain filling period and internodes lodging index (I3LI and L4LI) were statistically decreased compared to the control, but paddy yields (PY) were significantly enhanced. The maximum amounts of I3LI (49.44%) and I4LI (52.36%) were calculated with the application of phosphorus + bacteria. The maximum PY (4542 kg ha−1) was produced with the spray of nano-Si and the application of chemical phosphorus (4670 kg ha−1). The spray of nano-silicon and the combined application of phosphorus + bacterial lead to higher uptake of nutrient (Si, N, P and K). It can be concluded that the spray of nano-silicon and the application of chemical fertilizer + bacterial can increase the yields and control the blast disease in the rice fields.
