Pakistan is 3rd top producer of rice with 2.36 M ha area, 4.82 MT
production, 0.9% of GDP and contributes 4.4% in agriculture
annually. Pakistani rice is well known for its quality and aroma
and ranked as 5th country for rice export but yield level is
comparatively low and 36% yield gap has been observed. It has been
deduced from the research that along with NPK, silicon (Si) and
boron (B) should be introduced in rice production. Silicon can
control drought stress, insect pests, diseases, radiation damage
and metallic toxicity (Fe & Al) in rice. It also provides
mechanical strength, prevents lodging and enhances photosynthetic
activity and plant immunity. While boron (B) regulates
carbohydrates transportation, cell division, cell wall strength and
development, onset of fruits and seeds, pollen viability and
affects plant development, reproduction, respiration and
physiology. That's why this study was proposed and resulted that a
combination of silicon and boron solutions @ 1.5% and 1.0%
respectively should be applied as foliar spray for higher and
sustainable rise production.
