Abstract
Seed priming with silicon is an effective approach in combating stress conditions and pave way for good growth. A pot experiment was conducted with treatment schedule viz., Silicon seed priming @ 0, 1, and 2mM through silicon metasilicates and alkalinity stress levels viz., 0,25,50 and 75 mM produced by totaling with sodium carbonate. The trial was taken up through FCRD and replicated thrice with maize var CO8. The crop was grown up to the vegetative stage. The outcome of the experiment was that
