The ground with use of background material applied is not showing in Arnold

The ground with use of background material applied is not showing in Arnold render view. Also the ground is not showing any shadows. I've checked the lights and prime visibility, but it didn't work. The purpose is to have one reconstructed ground( the modulated one) and shadows on it

Use background is not an Arnold node, look for similar in Arnold like a shadow catcher type.

I applied same material to two surfaces, one is visible in Arnold rendering, second one is not. I attached screenshot to show it. And whatever I do with Arnold shadow materials, the object is not showing.

Also the surface is not shown in Maya render view. I suppose the problem is not with material, but something else.
