The article presents the studies carried out in 2017 and 2018 in the central zone of the Krasnodar Territory on the basis of the Agrotechnological Department of the FSBSI «National Center for Grain named after P.P. Lukyanenko». The purpose of the research was to study the dose and frequency of application of mineral fertilizers with a complex of NanoSilicon microelements, stimulating growth and development of corn and, ultimately, its yield and quality of the obtained products. Two year studies revealed the effectiveness of the positive effect of the studied drug on grain corn in all studied options. It was noted that at low or high doses of its application, a number of indicators that determine the structure of the crop and, ultimately, yield, decreased. It was found that foliar treatments increased the growing season of corn for a day. The introduction of the preparation promoted the formation of taller plants, the height of which varied from 201,3 to 212,4 cm, while in the control it was 184 cm (milk ripeness phase). In the same phase the plants had a large biological weight, which in the control was 1010,1 g/plant, and when the preparation was applied, it was 90,2–275,5 g/plant higher. Ultimately, mineral fertilization with the NanoSilicon microelement in all studied dosages had a positive effect on the corn yield, the maximum value, which was obtained when it was applied at doses of 40/75/75 (seed treatment with NanoSilicon with a rate of 40 g/ha + application by seedlings at a dose of 75 g/ha + in the phase of 7–8 leaves 75 g/ha) and 40/100/100 (seed treatment – 40 g/ha + seedlings – 100 g/ha + in the phase of 7–8 leaves – 100 g/ha), which amounted to 59,9 and 59,8 c/ha, respectively.
