Abstract: A Field experiment was conducted at Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR), Hyderabad during Kharif 2014 and Kharif 2015 to study the influence of silicon solubilizers on biochemical parameters and yield of eight rice genotypes. The treatments comprised of control (T0), silixol @ 0.2% (T1) and Imidazole @0.05% (T2) and sprayed at tillering stage. The experiment was laid out in split plot design, replicated thrice. Biochemical parameters viz. total chlorophyll content, silicilic acid content, total sugar content and phenol content were measured at tillering, panicle initiation and grain filling stages and grain yield significantly increased under silicon solubilizer treatments compared to control. Among the genotypes PHB 71(V5), PA6129 (V2) and PA6201 (V3) were maintained higher values under silicon solubilizer application as well as control conditions along with higher yield.
