Description

Assessed "Effect of different level of silicon on growth, nutrient uptake and yield of upland paddy in an Inceptisol''. The experiment was laid out in randomized bock design with five replications and four treatments. The application of silicon to upland paddy @ 240 kg silicon ha-1 i.e. (500 kg ha-1 calcium silicate) was found to be optimum for increasing the growth, yield attributing character, uptake of silicon, macro (N, P, K) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) and minimizing the incidence of stem borer and grass hopper.
