Increasing Wheat Yields Through Silicon Fertilization: A Breakthrough in Agriculture
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications has revealed that fertilizing agricultural fields with silicon can significantly increase wheat yields. The research was conducted by a team from the University of Lancaster in the UK and found that fields that were fertilized with the mineral experienced a 9% increase in wheat yields compared to control fields. The team believes that this increase in yield could help to meet the world’s growing demand for food, and that silicon fertilization could prove to be a cost-effective way of boosting agricultural productivity.
