A pot experiment was conducted in the campus of La Molina National Agrarian University in order to evaluate the effect of rice husk ash, ladle furnace slag and potassium silicate on the soil chemical properties and biomass of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. ‘Fedearroz 60’, using topsoil from a commercial paddy field at Aucayacu, Huanuco, Peru. Doses were calculated taking into consideration each product available Si (SiA), for reaching concentrations of 100, 200 and 400 ppm (w / w) of SiA in soil before sowing. Control pots without any silicon amendment were considered as well. A completely randomized design with factorial arrangement (3 × 4) was used to assess the Si absorption by plant tissues, final SiA in soils, roots volume, whole plant’s dry weight, tillering capacity, panicles per plant and average spikelets per panicle. Salinity and pH of the growing media were registered weekl...

Forest plantations represent an alternative to reduce timber extraction pressure in the Amazonian forests. In order to tolerate the hostile field conditions of deforested areas, high-quality seedlings are required. This study aimed to find the optimal dose of a native microbial consortium (NMC), which enhances seedling quality indicators, in three forest species at nursery phase. A completely randomized design (3 × 5) was used. Factor 1: Bolaina blanca (Guazuma crinita Mart.), Capirona (Calycophyllum spruceanum Benth. Hook. f.), and Marupa (Simarouba amara Aubl.). Factor 2: Incremental doses of 0, 160, 320, 480, and 640 mL NMC per plant. The nursery survival (%), robustness index, root height/length ratio, shoot–root index, Dickson Quality Index (DQI), Nitrogen (%), Phosphorus (%), and Potassium (%) content in tissues were analyzed. Statistical analyses consisted of two-way ANOVA per ...
