Rapid, MicroMethods to Estimate Plant Silicon Content by
After dilution of the extract with 40 mL of distilled water, the silica in the extract was measured by the spectrometric molybdenum yellow method. The molybde num yellow method, in which silica in mL of the diluted extract can be determined in 8 min, is well suited to rapid, microestimations of the silica content in plants. In the micro
