The Effect of Foliar Silicon Fertilizer Spraying on the Field Hammer and Industrial Characteristics of Sugarcane
In order to determine the impact of foliar silicon fertilizer spraying on sugar accumulation in sugarcane during the later stage of growth.A field experiment was carried out using Yunzhe081609 as the experimental material to compare and analyze the effects of conventional fertilization+spraying with clear water(CK)and conventional fertilization+spraying with 1500 g/hm2 foliar silicon fertilizer(Si treatment)on the field hammer and industrial properties of sugarcane.The results demonstrated that the application of foliar silicon fertilizer treatment increased the field hammer of sugarcane shoots,middle,base,and whole plant by 6.11%,7.42%,4.58%,and 6.08%,respectively,in comparison to conventional fertilization;the sugarcane's reduced sugar content decreased by 16.33%;and the hammer degree and sucrose content of sugarcane juice increased by 4.49%and 5.34%,respectively.In general,applying foliar silicon fertilizer helps sugarcane accumulate sugar and enhances the quality of the crop.
