Silicon Powder

Silicon Soil Application

bag

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.
