The mobilizing efficacies of the applied nutrients from soil as well as in invaded plant were found to be differed significantly with the applied nutrients combination. However, the treatments treated with the nutrients as recommended dose of nutrients along with silicon (60 kg/ha) and organic carbon (60 kg/ha) influenced significantly and lead to minimum residual nutrients prevalence in the soil after crop harvest, it could reveal to be due to the synergetic effect of applied nutrients import the essential nutrient availability for the plants from the soil nutrients present inherently as well as applied externally.
