Silicon is considered as a beneficial element for crop nutrition especially for monocots. In order to study the effect of addition of different silica sources on the nutrient release pattern from an Entisol, a laboratory incubation study was conducted with three silica sources viz., sodium silicate, calcium silicate, and potassium silicate each @ 200 ppm and 400 ppm per kilo gram soil. The positive effect of addition of silicates was obvious on soil reaction, available Si, P, K, Ca, and Mg. Release of plant available silicon was the highest at 60th day after incubation (DAI) with potassium silicate @ 400 ppm per kg soil. Sodium silicate @ 200 ppm resulted in the highest exchangeable magnesium concentration at 45th DAI. The result of the study implies the positive influence of silicates on soil acidity as well as on enhancing the availability of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in an Entisol.
