Title: Effects of Silicon Fertilization on Agronomic Traits,Yield and Quality of Soybean
Abstract: An experiment was carried out in the field to study the effects of Silicon fertilizations on SPAD,leaf area index(LAI),agronomic traits,yield and qualities of soybean Huaxia No.3(Glycine max L.).The results showed that Silicon could increase soybean LAI,plant height,total pod number,the number of valid pods,100-seed weight,and decrease invalid pods,plant lodging rate.However,there was no significant difference in leaf SPAD.Compared with CK,the Silicon fertilization increased soybean yield by 11.97%-32.56% and soybean protein content by 1.07%-2.04%,but significantly decreased oil content by 1.68%-3.61%.The results suggested that Silicon fertilizations with proper quantity can effectively enhance soybean production.
