SilicaPower

SilicaPower in practice

• The silicon (orthosilicic acid) we initially developed for ArgicinPlus can also be used seperately. It strengthens the leaf cellular walls and surface and ensures a better distribution of Ca and Mn throughout the plant. Si also helps reduce drought stress.
  With 3% orthosilicic acid, SilicaPower has a high concentration of Si that is readily taken up by the plant. This is clearly shown in this chart.

     Plant sap measurements 3 cut hydrangea cultivars clearly show increase in Si.

• And specifically in fruit growing (pome and stone fruit): SilicaPower strengthens the natural resistance of your fruit trees and the firmness of the fruit.

Advantages SilicaPower

• more intense flower colour: continues through to full bloom
• thicker, harder leaves and better leaf arrangement
• stronger cell walls
• better root penetration
• higher chlorophyll production, leading to more photosynthesis
• plant resistance increases
• transpiration decreases, less drought stress
• redistribution of Ca and Mn, reducing the risk of nutrient toxicity
• larger quantity of the CO₂ fixation enzyme Rubisco
• form of Si which is easy to take up: SiO₂ cannot be taken up by plants, however the orthosilicic acid, (H₄SiO₄) in SilicaPower can
• easy to use, via the fertiliser feeder or as a foliar spray
• liquid, dissolves easily in the fertiliser feeder

• highly cost effective compared with other silicon products
  (as less Si is needed for at least the same results)

• pH neutral: no acidification required afterwards

• 100% systemic: the solution sprayed onto the leaf is distributed to the roots immediately

• no residues, no growth inhibition, no re-entry term, no safety term

In other words: increase production and the quality of your crops.
Reap these benefits by adding the element Si, combined with the specific advantages of using SilicaPower.
