Leaf appearance rate (LA), leaf elongation rate (LE), number of live leaves per tiller (LL), stem elongation rate (SE), and stem diameter (SD) of Zuri guinea grass under different phosphorus levels deficiency (-P), sufficiency (P), and excess (+ P) in Oxisol (A, C, E, G, and I) and Entisol (B, D, F, H, and J) in the absence (-Si) and presence of silicon (+ Si, 1.5 mmol L− 1). Ns, *, ** denote the F test results as not significant and significant at 5 and 1%, respectively. Nutritional states are compared using uppercase letters, and the effect of Si is compared in lowercase letters (Tukey test, p < 0.05). Bars represent to the standard error of the experiment mean
