Popis: | Soil testing for silicon (Si) in the predominantly organic soils of the Everglades Agricultural Area has not been sufficiently investigated. The objective of this study was to identify a suitable Si extraction method for these soils for rice (Oryza sativa L.). Twenty-two surface soil samples were collected from 10 farms. Of these 22, 10 samples were from fields that had received Si fertilization at some time in the past, and 12 were from fields that had not received Si fertilization. Rice was grown for 80 days in each soil in the greenhouse. Subsequently, the straw and immature panicles were harvested, dried, weighed, and analyzed for Si. In the laboratory, seven different methods were used for extracting Si from the soils. The methods were: (1) 0.5 M acetic acid extract, 10:25 (soil:extract, v/v ratio), (2) citric acid 1%, 1:10, (3) demineralized water, 1:10, (4) TRIS buffer pH 7.0, 1:10, (5) water-bath shaking (Batch method) 1:10 v/v ratio plus cation exchange resin (Amberlite IRC-50 H type), (6) soil i... |
