Silicon is considered as a beneficial element for crop nutrition especially for
monocots. In order to study the effect of addition of different silica sources
on the nutrient release pattern from an Entisol, a laboratory incubation
study was conducted with three silica sources viz., sodium silicate, calcium
silicate, and potassium silicate each @ 200 ppm and 400 ppm per kilo gram
soil. The positive effect of addition of silicates was obvious on soil reaction,
available Si, P, K, Ca, and Mg. Release of plant available silicon was the
highest at 60th day after incubation (DAI) with potassium silicate @ 400
ppm per kg soil. Sodium silicate @ 200 ppm resulted in the highest
exchangeable magnesium concentration at 45th DAI. The result of the
study implies the positive influence of silicates on soil acidity as well as
on enhancing the availability of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium
in an Entisol.
