Yields of sugarcane in low-silicon soils were significantly increased by the application of both calcium silicate and coral sand. Over and above the significant response to Ca and increase in soil pH, there was a highly significant response to Si. The overall response to the higher level of calcium silicate application (14.2 tons/ha) over the control was 28.3 tons of cane per hectare. Neither calcium silicate nor coral sand influenced the sucrose content of the juice. | |
