SILICON’S ROLE IN STRESS REDUCTION AND PLANT DEVELOPMENT

Fertilization with Silicon decreases negative impact of stress conditions like heat, drought, salinity, pests and diseases on quality and yield. SILICAFER contains high concentration of stabilized Silicic acid. Silicic acid is the best plant available form of Silicon. Once assimilated by plants, Silicic acid is transported through the xylem to the cells of stems, foliage and fruits. Then it is stored in cell membranes, creating a mechanical barrier strengthening cell walls and increasing crop’s natural defence mechanisms. With SILICAFER, silicon fertilization will be applied worldwide.

Silicon reduces stress and improves plant growth in 3 unique ways

1.     Silicon acts as a physical barrier in cell walls

2.     Silicon acts as a modulator of metabolic defence reactions to stress situations

3.     Silicon improves absorption of micro nutrients in plants.

Silicon is a real plant strengthener by providing a natural way of protection. Crops are often exposed to stresses and Silicon’s benefits are most obvious during stress conditions. The impact of Silicon on yield and quality of commercially grown crops is impressive. Since crops can now protect themselves against adverse stress conditions, as an added advantage less chemical crop protection products may be used. So SILICAFER contributes in sustainable agricultural practices, including preserved production and quality levels.

FIELD TRIALS AND SUCCESS STORIES

Comparative research confirms SILICAFER is the best plant available source of silicon on the market. Leading international research centres confirm the beneficial effects of SILICAFER on crop’s stress resistance, product quality and yield. Customers around the world therefore now successfully integrate SILICAFER in their crop nutrition programs in order to alleviate stress conditions.
