Effects of Silica Level on Some Properties of Oryza sativa Straw and Hull

Reduction of silica content of two rice varieties obtained by growth in hydroponic solutions (0–400 ppm added SiO2) increased leaf openness and decreased both stem bending hardness and hull weight. The number of silica bodies in the surface of leaf blades was similarly decreased. Mapping by energy d...
