This is a natural source of silica and it is having 98-99% Silicon content.
Benefits :
- Increases crop production.
- Increases uptake of phosphorus, thereby decreasing phosphorus leaching by 40 - 90%.
- Reduces loss of nutrients and water through leaching and microbial activity.
- Increases potash-fertilizer efficiency
- Protects natural waters against heavy metals, nutrients and organic toxins.
- Optimizes bio-solid utilization.
- Promotes more predictable and vigorous plant growth
- Results in higher survival rates with greater yields.
- Improves cation exchange capacity (CEC) and soil conductivity.
- Makes plants less palatable to insects.
- Enhances host resistance to plant diseases.
- Improves plant ability to overcome stresses.
- Greatly improves photosynthesis and chlorophyll production.
