- Intervention effect Plant macronutrients and silicon followed the reported silicate ranking.
- Intervention effect Silicate spray significantly increased wheat yield and components.
- Intervention effect The 1000-grain weight was an exception to silicate response.
- Intervention effect Potassium silicate gave the highest response for most parameters.
- Intervention effect All yield components responded significantly to compost.
- Association The interaction of study factors was generally insignificant for yield and nutrient content.
