Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of different sources and methods of silicon application on direct sown rice during the kharif season in 2019-20 at Agricultural college farm, Bapatla, A.P, India. Experimental plot was laid out in randomized complete block design having nine treatments with three replications. Among different treatments imposed application of calcium silicate @ 200 kg ha^-1 along with 100% RDF significantly increased the growth attributes like plant height, average number of tillers per hill and dry matter production as well as yield of direct sown rice.
