A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2019 at Department of Agronomy in Crop Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The objective was to study effect of planting systems and foliar application of iron and silicon on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Var. Shiats Dhan- 1 under Randomized block design comprising of 3 replications and 10 treatments (Conventional Transplanting of Rice, System of Rice Intensification, Iron at 0.5%, 1.0% and Silicon at 0.5%, 1.0% respectively). The experimental results revealed that with T10 (SRI + 1.0% FA of FeSO4 + 1.0% FA of Na2SiO3) recorded highest number of tillers/hill (20.07), dry weight (112.40 g), effective tillera/hill (19.20), number of grains/panicle (283.92), grain yield (6.08 t/ha), straw yield (9.31 t/ha) and harvest index (39.50%). Maximum plant height (113.87 cm) was recorded with T3 (CTR + 1.0% FA of FeSO4). Highest LAI (5.67) was recorded with T8 (SRI + 1.0% FA of FeSO4). And highest length of panicle (23.46 cm) was recorded with T9 (SRI + 0.5% FA of FeSO4 + 0.5% FA of Na2SiO3).
