Silicate fertilizer application resulted in a significant (p < 0.001) decrease in cumulative CH 4 emissions by 28% in japonica rice and 31% in indica rice (Fig. S1). Silicate fertilizer application reduced pore-water DMA concentration and CH 4 emissions significantly, but cultivars had no significant effect (Table 1).

Plants need potassium silicate, or K2O3SI. When you're choosing a silica product for your crops, make sure it's a potassium silicate. Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin® Creating a silica product that dissolves easily for use in hydroponic gardens is a challenge many manufacturers face. Silica, after all, is the main component of sand.
Calcium silicate, obtained as a byproduct of steel and phosphorus production, is one of the most widely used silicon fertilizer. Potassium silicate, though expensive, is highly soluble and can be used in hydroponic culture. Other sources that have been used commercially are calcium silicate hydrate, silica gel, and thermo-phosphate .
Although silicate fertilizer has been recently recognized for its ability to suppress methane (CH 4) emissions in paddy fields, the effects of its consecutive application during the rice farming period are still a subject of debate.Moreover, while it was known that silicate fertilizer can mitigate CH 4 emissions through several electron acceptors, the effect of additional application …
Potassium silicate is a powerful ally for the plant, as it can be absorbed by the plant in liquid form. The supply of potassium and silicon has positive effects on the growth and resistance of vegetables or fruits to pests and diseases, and …
The mineral fertilizers can partly replace conventional potassium fertilizers. Potassium (K) silicate minerals are important insoluble K resources and exploring their potential as alternatives to ...
