Nano-Silica
THE IMPORTANCE OF SILICA
Silica  or Silicon is found in plants at a similar level as most common micronutrients. It is often overlooked and deficiencies can cause severe issues in any growing programs.

Reasons it shouldn't be overlooked include:

- Plant grown in soils with low soluble silicon levels have a greater susceptibility to disease, drought and other plant stresses.

- Healthy levels of silicon have been shown to reduce phosphorous leaching within soils.

- Micronutrient uptake is improved in the presence of silica

There is an abundance of silica products on the market, most of these however are based on potassium-silicate which is produced from the alkaline hydrolysis of Silicon dioxide with potassium hydroxide.

This in turn gives you a very alkaline solution which makes it difficult to include in formulations and can have an adverse effect on plants ie. the application of alkaline products on potatoes makes them more susceptible to scab.





INTRODUCING NANO-SILICA
Developed using NANO-SILICA our solution is a silica form more easily absorbed by plants than other formats.

Our 20% formulation is easily applied via spraying and with a neutral pH it can be included in most tank mixes.
The application of NANO-SILICA:
  • Improves nutrient uptake
  • Strengthens plants to tolerate abiotic and biotic stresses
  • Better water retention
  • Higher yields
  • Better crop quality and shelf life
NANO-SILICA also includes an organic wetting agent ensuring even coverage and higher absorption.

We are able to offer this product with added nutrients and packaged to the customers specifications.
