Description Potassium Silicate Liquid is a highly effective, soluble source of both potassium (K) and plant-available silicon (Si), making it a dual-purpose nutrient solution for advanced crop management. While silicon is widely recognized for its beneficial role in plant resilience, potassium is a macronutrient essential for countless physiological processes, including water regulation, nutrient transport, and enzyme activation.

Specification
  • Active Ingredients: Potassium Oxide (K2O) and Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
  • K2O Content: Typically 10-15% (w/w)
  • SiO2 Content: Typically 15-25% (w/w)
  • Formulation: Clear, slightly viscous liquid
  • pH: Slightly alkaline, typically 10.0-11.5 (more neutral than sodium silicate, making it generally safer for foliar applications)
  • Density: Varies by concentration, typically 1.30 – 1.45 g/cm³
  • Solubility: 100% water soluble
Benefits
  • Enhanced Plant Strength & Rigidity: The silicon component strengthens cell walls, leading to tougher leaves and stems, which reduces lodging (stem breakage) and improves overall plant architecture, allowing for better light interception.
  • Improved Pest & Disease Resistance: Creates a physical barrier and enhances the plant’s natural defense mechanisms against various insect pests (e.g., sucking insects like aphids, mites) and fungal diseases (e.g., powdery mildew, blast, rusts).
  • Increased Abiotic Stress Tolerance: Helps plants withstand environmental challenges such as drought, heat, cold, and salinity by improving water use efficiency and osmotic regulation.
  • Dual Nutrient Supply: Provides readily available potassium, a vital macronutrient for photosynthesis, enzyme activation, water movement, and fruit development, in addition to beneficial silicon.
  • Optimized Nutrient Uptake: Improves the uptake and utilization of other essential nutrients, contributing to overall plant vigor.
  • Alleviates Toxicity: Helps detoxify heavy metals like aluminum and manganese in acidic soils, promoting healthier root development.
  • Better Fruit Quality & Yield: Leads to healthier, more resilient plants, resulting in improved fruit size, quality, shelf-life, and ultimately higher yields. Potassium Silicate Liquid supports comprehensive plant health.
Application Potassium Silicate Liquid is versatile and can be applied via:

  • Foliar Spray: This is a highly effective method due to its favorable pH. Dilute the recommended amount in water and spray evenly on plant foliage, ensuring good coverage.
  • Drip Irrigation/Fertigation: Can be safely incorporated into irrigation systems for direct application to the root zone. Ensure compatibility with other fertilizers in the tank mix.
  • Soil Drench: Apply diluted solution directly to the soil around the base of the plants.
  • Hydroponics/Soilless Media: Suitable for inclusion in nutrient solutions, with regular pH monitoring.
Time
  • Early Vegetative Growth: Initiate applications during the vegetative stage to build strong plant structures and establish early resilience.
  • Flowering & Fruiting Stages: Continue applications to support the high demand for potassium during reproductive growth, fruit development, and ripening.
  • Pre-Stress Application: Apply before anticipated periods of environmental stress (e.g., heatwaves, drought, high pest pressure) to pre-emptively boost plant defenses.
  • Regular Intervals: Frequent, lower-dose applications of Potassium Silicate Liquid are often more beneficial than single large applications, typically every 7-14 days during active growth.
Precaution
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection (safety goggles/face shield), and protective clothing, during handling and application.
  • Skin and Eye Contact: Avoid direct contact. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
  • Ingestion: Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children, pets, and livestock.
  • Compatibility: While generally more compatible than sodium silicate, always perform a small-scale jar test before mixing Potassium Silicate Liquid with other fertilizers or pesticides to check for compatibility and prevent precipitation.
  • Storage: Store in original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not freeze.
Shelf Life Under proper storage conditions (sealed in original container, cool and dry place, avoiding freezing), the shelf life for Potassium Silicate Liquid is typically 24-36 months from the date of manufacturing.
Packaging
  • 200 Liters / 200 Kg HDPE Drum
  • Customizable as per client/manufacturer/trader requirement (e.g., 5L, 20L, 50L containers, IBC totes for larger volumes).
