Silicon application to increase rice resistance to brown spot
The aim of this study was to evaluate sources and methods of silicon application to improve silicon uptake and the resistance of rice plants (Oryza sativa), cultivar Metica-1, to brown spot (Bipolaris oryzae). Two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse, with an Oxisol soil, in a completely randomized design with eight repetitions. The treatments were wollastonite (calcium silicate) applied via soil and potassium silicate and silicic acid applied to the leaves. The soil-applied silicon increased the foliar silicon content and reduced the severity of brown spot, in contrast to the results observed in the foliar-applied silicon treatments.
