Potassium Silicate-Powder

Potassium Silicate Powder is highly concentrated and contains both potassium (K) as well as silicon (Si)! This material is also highly soluble which combined with its already high level of silicon, offers excellent benefits if admixed in your existing fertilizer or crop protection formulations to provide the plant with available nutrients alongside clinically proven advantages from a silicon source.

• Dual Action Nutrient Power: Provides a combination of bioavailable potassium and silicon designed for complete plant response benefits.
• Water-soluble: It provides even distribution and uptake of both nutrients when foliar is applied or incorporated as part of a soil amendment.
• Compatible: Generally safe with a wide range of fertilizer and crop protection products. Make sure you always test for compatibility before going into production at scale.

• Improved Plant Strength & Stress Protection: Encourages silicon to be deposited in cells walls for structural integrity and stability of stems, leaves which helps against environmental stresses such as drought, heat or cold.
• Better Potential Nutrient Uptake: Si might have a role in nutrient uptake which would be realized within the plant and potentially, because of that, better growth and yield.
• Potassium Powerhouse: Plants need a copious amount of potassium for effective root growth, water regulation and fruit formation. Potassium Silicate Powder supplies an easily available source to increase these processes.
• Higher Disease Resistance: Silicon is recognized as a possible inducer of plant defense responses which could result in better resistance to fungal diseases.

Benefits of potassium silicate powder for manufacturers

• Foliar Application: Add Potassium Silicate Powder to a foliar spray fertilizer solution, for immediate delivery of essential nutrients straight to the plant leaves.
• Granular Fertilizer Blends: Add Potassium Silicate Powder to granules or create soil amendments for extended nutrient release over the growing season.

The timing and frequency of application will vary depending on the crop, method of applicatioin (foliar or soil) and desired benefit from applying soy optimizing molecule.

In general, application early in the growing season may be helpful after which follow-up applications can occur when necessary during different stages of crop growth.

• 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.

Packaging types usually range from heavy-duty bags up to drums or bulk containers depending on the manufacturers.
