Depletion of plant‐available silicon in soils: A possible cause of declining rice yields

Savant, Narayan K., Datnoff, Lawrence E., Snyder, George H.·1997·Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis

Abstract

The phenomenon of yield decline in different rice ecosystems from many parts of the world has been reported to be associated with decreases in the effective nitrogen (N) supply from soil. However, many reports in the literature suggest that silicon (Si) is an agronomically essential element for sustainable rice production. Depletion of plant‐available Si in soils where rice is grown could be a possible limiting factor contributing to declining yields. In order to address this problem of yield decline or stagnation, it seems necessary to survey Si status of soils and rice grown in different ecosystems throughout the world and develop region‐specific integrated nutrient management systems that include the element Si.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Intensification of food production across 24 million hectares of productive agricultural land in South Asia and China is creating acidified, desilicated soils exhausted in plant nutrients (potassium, zinc and available phosphorus) that limit yields.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
