      abstract = {This paper studies the effect of silicon on the growth and  production structure of rice (Oryza sativa L.), and  proposes the appropriate applying amount of silicon. The  results show that the application of silicon fertilizer to  rice can increase specific leaf weight and leaf area index,  and improve rice yield by increasing grain number, kernel  number and thousand kernel weight. The growth rate of rice  yield is 3.45%—15.69% by applying silicon. In the Jianghan  Plain, the applying amount of silicon fertilizer for rice  (SiO2) is recommended at 15—30 kg/ha.},
