Fertilizers and soil conditioners — Determination of monosilicic acid concentrations in nonliquid fertilizer materials

This document establishes a method for the determination of monosilicic acid concentrations in nonliquid fertilizer materials. Monosilicic acid is reported as silicon (Si). This extraction method is applicable to the detection of monosilicic acid in nonliquid fertilizer products, blended products, and beneficial substances at silicon (Si) concentrations of 2 to 84 g/kg, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0,6 g/kg Si, and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 2 g/kg correlating well with plant uptake. This method is not applicable to liquid silicon fertilizer sources due to an expected low bias of Si recovery and low correlation with plant uptake.

Introduction
[3]
Although silicon is ubiquitous in nature, making up a quarter of the earth's crust , not all forms of
[4],[5]
silicon found in soils or fertilizer products are soluble and plant-available . The form of silicon in
soils that is soluble and available for plant uptake is monosilicic acid. Worldwide, it has been estimated
that annual removal of silicon from soils during crop production can amount to 239-255 mega tons
annually, based on FAO 1998 global crop production estimates, and a conservative annual increase of
[6]
1 % through 2012. Although the first US patent on a solid Si fertilizer was issued in 1881 , fertilizer
manufacturers, governmental regulators and consumers had no means of evaluating nonliquid silicon
fertilizer materials for their monosilicic acid supplying capacity to meet and replace plant uptake needs.
[7]
The first research into the use of silicon fertilizers was reported in 1840 . Additionally, increased
plant silicon concentrations were first associated with reductions in rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast disease
[8]
(Magnaporthe grisea M.E. Barr) over a century ago in Japan . Since then, research has extended to
[9] [10]
other grasses and grains (e.g. barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) , corn (Zea mays L.) , oats (Avena sativa
[11] [12] [13] [14]
L.) , wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) , sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) , pasture , turf
[15] [16]
grasses , and to dicotyledonous crops (e.g. cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) , grapes (Vitis vinifera
[17] [18] [19] [20]
L.) , pepper (Capsicum L.) , pumpkin (Curcubita pepo L.) , soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) ,
[21]
tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) . Beneficial effects from silicon fertility have included increased
stress tolerance (disease, insect, drought, salt, nutrient imbalance, UV-rays, low and high temperature)
[4]
and yield increases with or without stress . Other benefits from silicon supplements to soils have
[22] [23]
included CO sequestration , reductions in metals toxicity , and reduced phosphorus run-off while
2
[24]
increasing phosphorus use efficiency .
Considering the extensive research, a growing market, and the potential benefits from silicon fertility
to global agriculture; it is important that a standard method exists to enable regulation of nonliquid
silicon fertilizer materials based on their monosilicic acid supplying capacity. This is the first method
developed which correlates well with plant silicon uptake while using commonly available laboratory
equipment at a reasonable cost for the analysis. Reference the peer reviewed published version, single
[25]
lab validated AOAC method .

Mixing of sodium carbonate and ammonium nitrate: Flexible vinyl gloves are to be worn when mixing
Na CO and NH NO , due to the caustic nature of this extractant. Care shall be taken to avoid eye or
