Silicon Powder (Grade-1 foliar-soil application)

Silicone Powder (Grade-1) is a highly concentrated silicon grade, which can be mixed with water for use. It provides a soluble form of silicon that is easy to apply with the spray, can be both sprayed on leaves and applied to soil. This flexibility gives manufacturers the ability to produce various formulations for crop requirements.

Silicon Source: – Fast and easily absorbable by the plant for maximum performance.
Water-Soluble: It facilitates the enhanced and uniform spread of silicon through foliar application or soil technique.
Grade-1 Product: Ideal for developers formulating foliar sprays and soil amendments, tailored to get the best product formulation.

• Greater plant strength and stress tolerance encourage silicon deposition in the cell walls of plants to fortify stems & leaves, contributing to a healthier overall plant structure that can better withstand environmental stresses like drought, heat or cold.
• Potential for Improved Nutrient Uptake: Research shows that silicon can help plants better internalize nutrients, which may lead to increased growth and yield.
• Fungal Disease Resistance: Possibly could induce a healthier plant response to fungal diseases.

For manufacturers, Silicone Powder (Grade-1) is providing two applications:

Foliar Application: Combine with foliar fertilizer sprays for immediately plant available silicon directly to leaves for fast absorption.

Soil Application – Blend Silicone Powder into granular fertilizer blends or produce standalone soil amendments for slow release of silicon from early spring to late fall.

The optimum timing and frequency of this application will vary by crop, foliar versus soil delivery method, desired result etc. As standard cropping practices may not have yet been established, consult with a local agricultural agent for specific recommendations.

• Always wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) whilst dealing with the product.
• The product should be safely kept in a cool dry place away from the sun.
• Always do a compatibility check before full-scale production.

2-3 years when stored in an original unopened container under cool, dry conditions.
