The effort was made for study the maize yield and nutrient content as influenced by different levels of silicon and phosphorus in Typic Ustochrepts soil. A pot experiment was conducted in 2012 in the greenhouse of the Anand Agricultural University, Anand. Treatments were arranged in a factorial completely randomized design with silicon factor at five levels (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm) and two levels of P (0 and 40 mg P kg soil-1) and maize were taken as a test crop with three replicates. Indian improved and high –yielding variety, GM-6, was used. The application of Si @ 300 mg Si kg-1 soil recorded significantly the highest green shoot yield (93.03 g pot-1) in loamy sand soil, whereas, the highest dry shoot yield (52.25 g pot-1 and 64.3 g pot-1) was noted under same treatment in both the soils. On the whole results of study indicate that application of silicon @ 300 mg kg-1 and phosphorus at 40 mg P2O5 kg-1 gave highest maize yield under P stress condition and also enhanced silicon, phosphorus content by maize plant but obtainable Fe and Mn contents were significantly decline by maize plant.
