Attainment of potential yield (PY) of upland rice grown in valley bottom (VB) soil is limited by inadequate supply of beneficial nutrients. Previous study revealed that VB soil increase grain weight plant-1 (GWP) in upland rice by 70%, which is still far below its PY. Application of ortho-silicate acid (OSA) fertiliser, as silicon source at optimum rate, could help to boost the yield of upland rice. Five upland rice cultivars, comprising of three medium maturing (NERICA 1,4,7) and late maturing (MOROBEREKAN and OFADA), were grown in pots filled with VB soil. Four rates of foliarly applied OSA fertiliser (0, 250, 500, and 750 ml ha-1) were imposed across stages of growth of rice cultivars. OSA fertiliser increased GWP significantly (P<0.0...
