Abstract
The present study was carried out to examine the combined effects of varying fertilizer and silicon levels on maize yield during the two-year investigation, at RCA, Udaipur. The experimental plots were designed in a split-plot design with three replications and sixteen treatment combinations comprised of four fertility levels in main-plots and four silicon levels in sub-plots. The results showed that the application of 100% recommended dose of fertilize recorded higher cobs plant-1, grain rows cob-1and grains row-1and yield of maize over control. However, the application of 300 kg diatomaceous earth ha-1 observed significantly higher cobs plant-1, grain rows cob-1 and grains row-1 and yield of maize.
