Silicon fertilisation to increase drought resilience in winter wheat winter wheat, maize and grassland in Hesse.
Periods of drought are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Fertilisation with silicon (Si) can contribute to this and increase the drought resistance of various cereals. However, an evaluation of Si fertilisation as a practical crop cultivation measure, particularly for Central European and German growing regions, does not yet exist. The aim of the project is therefore to investigate the benefits of Si fertilisation for yield stabilisation of the important crops winter wheat, silage maize and grassland in Hesse under drought stress under local cultivation conditions and to gather practical experience with Si fertilisation. To this end, three-year plot trials will be carried out with the three crops and strip trials will be conducted on five farms in order to assess the practical suitability of Si fertilisation. The Si uptake of the plants and Si effects on drought stress resistance will be related to the Si reserves in the soil. The result should be an economic evaluation of the various tested Si fertiliser variants on the basis of the data collected.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
