Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of different levels of silicon fertilization on some physiological parameters and mineral nutrient uptake characteristics of mondo grass under non-irrigation conditions in Ha Hoa district, Phu Tho province. A two-factor experiment was conducted in a split-plot design on haplic Acrisols with 6 levels of silicon (0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60kgSiO2/ha/year) and 2 varieties of mondo grass (G2 and G6). The results showed that the supplemental application of silicon reduced ion leakage and water saturation deficiency in both two mondo grass varieties. silicon application increased osmotic pressure, SPAD index, and chlorophyll fluorescence efficiency (Fv/Fm), thus enhancing photosynthesis of mondo grass under non-irrigation conditions. The absorption of N, P2O5, K2O, SiO2and the content of polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids in the roots and tubers tended to increase with increasing amount of silicon application. The variability of polysaccharides between formulations was found to be lower than that of saponins and flavonoids. On haplic Acrisols, applicationpf 40kgSiO2/ha and basal application of 30kg N/ha + 30kg P2O5/ha + 30kg K2O/ha were considered suitable for mondo grass, helping the plant accumulate active ingredients higher than the other treatments.
