| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Multi-location trials in this study demonstrated for the first time the positive and significant effect of silica (Si) application on rice yield on highly-weathered soils in Africa. We further identified that the Si application effect was particularly large when it was combined with N application and in upland rice fields relative to the lowland rice fields. In addition, the analysis of 299 set of grain and straw across Africa showed high correlation (R2=0.837) between Si concentration in grain and that in straw irrespective of field environments or management practices. The result suggested that the Si concentration in grain can be used an an alternative Si-deficiency indicator easier to collect and analyze than the conventional straw Si concentration.
