- Intervention effect Silicon applications significantly increased pigeonpea growth.
- Intervention effect P applications significantly increased pigeonpea growth.
- Association Calcium silicate at 1.96 g Si/pot gave the optimum fresh and dry shoot weights.
- Association Calcium silicate at 1.96 g Si/pot gave the optimum shoot height.
- Association Calcium silicate at 1.96 g Si/pot gave the optimum plant-available water.
- Association Calcium silicate at 1.96 g Si/pot gave the optimum nitrogen and P contents.
- Association Calcium silicate at 1.96 g Si/pot gave the optimum P:Mn ratios.
- Association Application of 0.1 g P/pot gave the optimum fresh and dry shoot weights.
- Association Application of 0.1 g P/pot gave the optimum shoot height.
- Association Application of 0.1 g P/pot gave the optimum plant water content.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation had no effect on pigeonpea growth.
- Association There were no interactions for pigeonpea growth among Si, P and inoculation.
- Mechanism Increased pigeonpea growth from Si is explained by increased available N and P and reduced Mn levels.
- Intervention effect Applied Si increased plant-available water.
- Mechanism Si enhanced leaf erectness, which is thought to improve growth.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer P increased pigeonpea growth.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer P increased low soil-available P.
- Intervention effect Calcium silicate improved pigeonpea growth on this low pH soil.
