The silicon fertilization has a beneficial effect in enhancing the resistance of plants to diseases, however, this effect can be reduced in the presence of high levels of nitrogen. Given the above, this study aimed to investigate the effect of silicated and nitrogen fertilization in control of rice blast in irrigated system. Plants were grown in an area of tropical lowland and evaluated as to the severity of leaf blast incidence on pan-1 of calcium and magnesium silicate associated with 45 kg ha - 1 of nitrogen topdressing on had lower severity of leaf blast and higher grain yield compared to plants not supplemented with silicon. The combination of silicated fertilization with 90 kg ha - 1 of nitrogen topdressing resulted in a greater incidence of panicle rice blast. After analyzing the results, it was concluded that supple- mentation with silicon and nitrogen promoted reduction in the severity of blast in rice plants in irrigation sys- tem without affecting the yield.
