Resumo
The aim of this study was to analyze whether there are differences between the inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense and the silicon application, thus enabling a higher efficiency of nitrogen fertilization, evaluating micronutrients and silicon concentration in shoots and roots of irrigated corn (Zea mays). The experiment was conducted in Selviria, Brazil, under a no-till system, on a Typic Rhodic Hapludox. The experiment was set up as a randomized block design with four replications, in a 2 x 5 x 2 factorial arrangement consisting of two soil corrective sources (dolomitic limestone and Ca and Mg silicate as source of Si); five N rates (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha(-1)); with and without inoculation with A. brasilense. N rates increased B, Cu and Fe concentrations in shoots and B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Si in roots. Inoculation provided greater concentrations of B and Fe in shoots, and B in roots. Although inoculation with A. brasilense favored micronutrient uptake, it negatively affected Si concentration in shoots in 2015/16 crop. The use of Si in the form of Ca and Mg silicate promotes an increase in Mn, Si and Zn uptake in shoots and Mn and Si concentration in roots.
