An improvement in soil properties and crop development with silicate application has been
confirmed in several plant species. This study investigated the effect of application of
calcium silicate on nutrition and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Wheat plants were
grown in 8-L pots filled with clayey Rhodic Hapludox in a greenhouse. The experiment was
arranged in a completely randomized design, with five treatments, and four replicates. The
treatments consisted of growing wheat plants with 0 (control), 1.2, 2.4, 4.8 and 9.6 Mg ha-1 …
