| Summary: | Si plays an important role in plant growth and development. In the past, determination of silicate content in horticultural materials was laborious and/or difficult. In the present study, three methods to analyze Si in horticultural crops including apple, peach, melon, and bluegrass were compared. Among those methods, digestion of material with HCI-HF solution by shaking overnight followed by inductively coupled agron plasma（ICAP）procedure was proved to be sensitive, rapid and accurate for reducing potential errors. The autoclave-induced digestion appeared to be suitable to the horticultural crops with high Si content, but not to those with low Si content such as apple and peach. |
