Summary:Beans are grown in different regions of the country, with an estimated average national production of 1.3 million tons in 2018. Their production is affected by nutrient deficiency, disease and / or soil acidity. One way to improve the use of agricultural inputs is to use silicates that are sources of silicon. Observing the importance of calcium silicate in crops of economic interest, the objective was to evaluate different doses of calcium silicate in the development of black beans. The experiment was carried out in pots with a capacity of 2,5 L filled with a typical dystrophic Red Latosol, with acidic pH around 3.88 cmolc / dm3 according to chemical analysis, where 0, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% calcium silicate under greenhouse conditions. The bean was harvested after 45 days, where it was verified the fresh mass of the shoot, fresh root mass, root length, plant height, aerial dry mass. The data were submitted to the Tukey test at 5% significance level. From the parameters evaluated fresh shoot mass, fresh root mass, shoot dry mass and plant height showed significant results the application of calcium silicate from the 60% dose, thus demonstrating its importance for the vegetative development of the bean crop.
