Potassium Silicate is a highly plant available form of silicate and Potassium.
Slightly viscous with excellent leaf wetting properties, Potassium Silicate fertilizer can be utilised to coat the leaf surface, as well as transport itself systemically through soil or foliar application.
Potassium Silicate is renowned for toughening plants, shielding against frost damage, resisting salt, binding Aluminium and raising plant sugar levels.
Recent experiments show that plants deprived of Silica are structurally weaker, more prone to pest and disease attack, and are more susceptible to heavy metal and salt toxicities among other things.
Once Silica is incorporated into a cell of a plant it is immobile and cannot be redistributed around the plant, therefore if all tissues are to benefit from its presence, it needs to be in constant supply.
- Increasing the yield and fertility of diverse productssuch as cereals(specially rice), the vegetables&fruit trees
- Increasing resistance to environmental stresses such as extreme heat, cold, dehydration(drought) and salinity
- Increase the shelf-life forafter-harvest products
- Increasing the appearance quality in terms of color and taste
- Improves photosynthesis and raises brix in all plants.
- Reduces the negative effects of excess aluminium, sodium and manganese.
- Produces an armour-like layer in the outer cell wall resulting in stronger, more resilient plants.
CROPS | APPLICATION PERIOD | IRRIGATION | FOLIAR |
---|---|---|---|
FRUIT TREES, VINES, TREES | Apply a minimum of 3 applications while fruit sizing. Can be applied up to several weeks prior to harvest | 8-10 L/Ha | 2-3 L/1000Li |
FIELD CROPS | 1-2 application in growth cycle | 6-8 L/ Ha | 2-3 L/1000Li |
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash with copious amounts of water should contact occur.
Do not use in higher concentration that 1:300
Trial on acid loving plants first.
Spray in the cool of the day
Soil testing will accurately determine soil requirements.
Utilise Silica “slow release” for long term input.
May coagulate with other chemical inputs – Jar test first.
