1、Silicon and Zinc Fertilizer Application Improves Grain Quality and

We applied nine different fertilizer treatments, one involving soil topdressing at the top fourth leaf-age stage and one involving foliar spraying during the booting stage of the silicon and zinc fertilizers. We tested the effects of the nine treatments on grain quality and aroma.

2、Zinc Fertilizers

The availability of Zn fertilizers is affected by the chemical reactions of Zn with the soil which are also affected by the chemical and physical properties of the fertilizer (eg, granule size or physical state solid vs fluid, water solubility of Zn) and the fertilizer application method.

3、Zinc and silicon fertilizers in conventional and nano‐forms: Mitigating

Our findings confirm that the application of nutrients as nano-fertilizers, particularly nano-Zn, enhanced K/Na ratio and improved nutrient availability and uptake of the plant.

Zinc in Fertilizer: options to consider

Factors that influence the effectiveness of zinc fertilizer the efectiveness of zinc fertil-izers. These include: the concentration of zinc, cost, impurities (e.g., presence of contaminants such as cadmium), water solubilit , soil type, and method of ap

Effects of Silicon and Zinc Fertilizer and Their Application

The silicon fertilizer application decreased the rates of brown rice and milled rice, while the zinc fertilizer increased the rates of brown rice and milled rice. The silicon and zinc fertilizers could increase the head rice rate, with the latter being more influential.

Interaction Between High Soil Zinc Level and Silicon Application

The present study proposes to examine the efficiency of Si application methods and their effect in intermediate and high levels of Zn in maize plants. Two experiments were carried out: one in sandy soil and another in clay soil.

Effect of different resources and methods of silicon and zinc

The experimental treatments included the different resources and forms of Si and Zn application as nanoparticles (NPs) foliar application and soil application of the elements. The results indicated that grain and straw yields were increased in response to application of Si and Zn fertilizers.

Therefore, in this study, Nanjing 46 was used to investigate the effects of silicon and zinc fertilizers and their different application methods on the quality and flavor of rice to provide a reference basis for optimizing and cultivating aroma-enhanced Nanjing 46.

Foliar Spraying of Nano

The study was conducted in a split-plot design, with main plots assigned to three treatments of foliar application of nSiO 2, nZnO, and control (nZero), and sub-plots assigned to six N fertilizer rates (0–300 kg N ha −1).

Silico-zinc fertilizer is a compound fertilizer primarily composed of silicate and zinc oxide. It is widely used in agricultural production to improve soil water retention, enhance plant disease resistance, and promote crop growth. Below is a detailed introduction to its application methods:

1. Select the Appropriate Type of Silico-Zinc Fertilizer

There are various silico-zinc fertilizer products on the market, such as silico-zinc fertilizer and silico-zinc phosphate fertilizer. The choice depends on factors like soil type and crop requirements. Generally:

• Silico-zinc phosphate fertilizer is suitable for acidic soils.
• Silico-zinc fertilizer is recommended for neutral or alkaline soils.

2. Determine Timing and Application Method

The optimal timing varies by crop type and growth stage. Applying silico-zinc fertilizer during the early growth stages helps promote root development and disease resistance. Follow these steps:

(a) Preparation Before Application

• Soil Testing: Analyze soil for silicon, zinc content, and pH. Adjust fertilizer rates based on deficiencies.
• Tools: Prepare equipment like sprayers or spreaders.

(b) Application Method

• Broadcasting: Evenly spread the fertilizer over the soil surface, then deeply till to integrate it into the soil.
• Row Crops: Apply between rows and till thoroughly.

(c) Post-Application Management

• Watering: Irrigate immediately to aid nutrient absorption.
• Field Care: Maintain weed control, soil loosening, and proper drainage.

3. Control Application Rates and Concentrations

• Dosage: Adjust based on crop type, soil conditions, and goals. Avoid overapplication to prevent waste or environmental harm.
• Concentration: Dilute the fertilizer before use to ensure effectiveness.

4. Avoid Excessive Application

Overuse can lead to:

• Soil salinization, harming crops.
• Soil compaction, reducing air permeability and water retention. Solution: Stick to recommended rates and concentrations.

5. Combine with Other Fertilizers

Enhance efficiency by pairing silico-zinc fertilizer with:

• Organic fertilizers: Increases soil organic matter.
• Nitrogen-rich fertilizers (e.g., diammonium phosphate, urea): Meets crop nitrogen needs.

6. Monitor Soil and Crop Health

Regularly assess:

• Soil: Test silicon, zinc levels, and pH.
• Crops: Track growth indicators (e.g., plant height, stem thickness, leaf chlorophyll). Adjustments: Modify fertilization strategies if deficiencies or excesses occur.

Silico-zinc fertilizer is highly effective but requires careful application. By following scientific methods and management practices, farmers can maximize its benefits, boosting crop yields and health.
