Abstract
Silicate fertilizers known to be effective in improving the growth and density of zoysiagrass. Most silicate fertilizers being used in Korea are slag-originated silicate fertilizer, but some water soluble silicate fertilizers are commercially available recently. This study was conducted to know the effect of water soluble silicate fertilizer, on the growth of zoysiagrass and the change of soil chemical properties in Wagner pot and field experiment. Root length, fresh and dry weight of shoots and stolons, the number of shoots and stolons, total of stolons length and the $SiO_2$ content of internal plant were significantly increased by the $SiO_2$ content but chemical properties of the soil were not significantly changed by the $SiO_2$ content. The $SiO_2$ contents of 18 and $36{\mu}lml^{-1}$ did not show significance difference, and therefore a reasonable application the content of $SiO_2$ was thought to be $18{\mu}lml^{-1}$. Foliar spray of water soluble silicate fertilizer is believed to enhance the growth and density of zoysiagrass than soil application.
