Table 5. Analysis of variance of the effects of slag-based silicon fertilizer (slag) and application rate of Si (Si-R) on Si concentrations in rice organs (SiO2%).

F values
Sources of variation Df Leaf Stem Grain
Slag 1 2.09 ns 21.05** 0.602 ns
Si-R 3 30.93** 18.51** 13.74*
Slag×Si-R 3 1.80 ns 7.56* 0.786 ns

Levels of probability: ns  =  non significant, significantly different *p≤0.05 and **p≤0.01
