Article Synopsis
  • A study examined how silica nanoparticles (nanosilica) and traditional silica sources affect microbial biomass and silica availability in soil and the maize rhizosphere.
  • Nanosilica, produced from rice husk, significantly boosted beneficial microbial populations and increased total microbial biomass and silica content compared to other silica sources like microsilica and sodium silicate.
  • The findings suggest that nanosilica is crucial for enhancing soil nutrient levels and promoting maize growth by positively impacting soil biota.
