- Intervention effect Soil available K was 22.1% lower for WS0 (no straw return, no Si) than for WS3 in Nong’an maize fields.
- Intervention effect Soil available K was 3.1% lower for WS3 (no straw return, Si applied) than for JS3 in Nong’an maize fields.
- Intervention effect Si fertilizer significantly increased K uptake compared with WS0 (no Si) in maize, by 15.9%.
- Intervention effect Total K uptake under JS3 (straw return + Si) was 7.5% higher than under WS3 in maize.
- Intervention effect Total dry matter was significantly higher under WS3 (Si, no straw return), by 6.5%, in maize.
- Intervention effect Total dry matter under JS3 (straw return + Si) significantly outperformed WS3 by 2.9% in maize.
- Intervention effect Grain yield under JS3 (straw return + Si) significantly outperformed WS3 by 1.3% in maize.
- Intervention effect Si fertilizer with straw return sustainably improves K release to meet crop requirements while increasing crop productivity.
