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.
