摘要

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of silicon fertilization on accumulation of silicon and phenolic compounds in shoots of wheat plants. The experimental design was completely randomized where the treatments consisted of using different doses of two sources of silicon in a factorial 2 X 6 (Factor A: kaolin and rice husk ash, Factor B: levels of zero, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 kg ha(-1)), totalizing 12 treatments with four replications. Plants were collected at 60 days after emergence, and evaluations of the silicon content in the shoot, were performed through the oxidation of material with basic digestion, and total phenol by extraction with methanol. After harvest, we evaluated the number and grain yield per plant. We conclude that increasing the dose of Silicon fertilization with sources kaolin and rice husk ash into the soil, causing the linear accumulation of silicon in the leaves and stems of wheat plants up to a dose of 2500 kg ha(-1), with consequent increase in total phenols. Silicon fertiliation in both sources, promote increased productivity up to a dose of 1720 kg ha(-1)
