BioSilicate

BioSilicate is a unique liquid silicon product that delivers silicon nutrition in a form that is stable and rapidly absorbed by plants.

Silicon is not considered an ‘essential’ plant nutrient as it is not required for primary growth, however, plants use silicon in order to fight off a range of stresses, both abiotic (environmental) and biotic (pests and diseases).

While silicon is one of the most abundant chemical elements in any soil, the vast majority is locked up and not available to plants. Addition of BioSilicate to crops can therefore have a dramatically positive effect on growth and health.

Benefits of BioSilicate For cereal crops and turf:

  • Stronger stalks and stems reducing lodging
  • Better photosynthesis from extended leaves and extra chlorophyll
  • Reduced heat and drought stress
  • Better resistance to fungal pathogens
  • Better resistance to sucking insects such as aphids
  • Improved resistance to high salts or toxins.

For fruit and vegetable crops you will find many of the above effects, plus:

  • Fruits stay longer on the plant and build more sugars
  • Fruit and vegetables have a longer shelf life and fewer second grade specimens
  • Fruits are tastier and less likely to split even after freezing.
