Climate change is forcing the search for innovative solutions to effectively reduce its harmful effects on food production. In addition, increasingly stringent regulations are being introduced in European Union (the Green Deal), mandating reductions mineral fertilizer doses, which can crop yields. One technology could be soil fertilization and foliar application of Si-based fertilizers. A two-year field experiment (2023 2024), commercial conditions Kraski (52°2′42″ N, 18°54′6″ E), Central Poland, studied effect differentiated products yield quality maize grain at two levels nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium (NPK) (100% 50%). The SiGS® (Si—200 g kg−1, Ca—181 Mg—46 Mn—45 kg−1) was applied doses 100, 300, 500 kg ha−1, alone or with Barrier Si-Ca® (Si—336 dm−3; Ca—207 dm−3) (1 dm3 ha−1). number combinations assessed 16. were compared against control treatment. evaluated plant physiological parameters, dry matter yield, moisture content (protein, fat, starch content), components. highest yields obtained a dose ha−1 (giving an increase 17.5%), 300 plus (+16.4%), (+17.8%). treatments half-rate NPK similar magnitude (on average, +11.9%) full rate (+12.6%) treatments. Doubling contributed 7.8%. had significant beneficial protein fat grain, while it reduced content.
