- Intervention effect Granular silicon was the most effective treatment under non-stressed and drought-stressed conditions
- Observation The four-way interaction significantly affected aboveground biomass, productive spike number and hundred seed weight
- Observation The four-way interaction significantly affected grain yield
- Observation MC18 with granular silicon gave a mean grain yield of 4.17 t ha −1 under field and drought conditions
- Observation MC18 with liquid silicon gave a mean grain yield of 2.56 t ha −1 under field and drought conditions
- Observation MC18 without silicon gave a mean grain yield of 2.18 t ha −1 under field and drought conditions
- Intervention effect Granular silicon improved MC18 yield by 91.3% under drought compared with untreated control
- Intervention effect Granular silicon improved MC18 yield by 44.6% under non-stressed conditions compared with untreated control
- Intervention effect Granular silicon positively affected drought stress tolerance indices compared with liquid silicon and untreated control
- Intervention effect Liquid and granular silicon positively impacted yield response compared with control
- Intervention effect Silicon application reduced genotype variation for agronomic traits
- Intervention effect Silicon application enhanced agronomic trait relationships under drought
- Association Silicon has direct and indirect effects on yield and yield components
