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
