Abstract:Three types of soils, including a peat, a baijing and a meadow peddy soils, were used in the present study. The range of available silicon content of the three types of soils was 127-181 ppm. The available silicon content of the fertilizer used was 32.2%. The yield of rice increased by 5.5-8.7% when 1, 000 kg/ha silicon fertilizer was used. Under some high fertile soil, a grain yield increase of 10.0-13.4% was achieved. The conclusion was that in general 1, 000 kg/ha silicon fertilizer should be used for the soils being studied economically.
