Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil application

Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil application is a premium, high-purity silicate-based formulation developed for both foliar and soil applications in agriculture. It is designed to enhance plant resilience, improve nutrient uptake, and protect crops from various abiotic and biotic stresses. This advanced formulation is enriched with essential micronutrients, making it a complete stress-relief and productivity booster for various crops including cereals, vegetables, fruits, oilseeds, and horticultural crops.

Silicon is a beneficial element that, while not classified as essential, plays a critical role in strengthening plant tissues, improving drought and pest resistance, and optimizing the uptake of key micronutrients such as zinc, iron, manganese, and boron.

• Product Name: Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil application

• Form: Fine microcrystalline powder

• Solubility: Water-dispersible for easy foliar and soil integration

• Silicon (SiO₂) Content: ≥ 85%

• pH: 7.0–8.5 (neutral to slightly alkaline)

• Particle Size: < 75 microns for enhanced absorption

• Enriched with: Trace micronutrients – Zn, Fe, Mn, B

• Odor: Odorless

• Compatibility: Compatible with most fertilizers and pesticides

• Shelf Life: 3 years from the date of manufacture

• Strengthens Cell Walls: Silicon deposits form in plant cell walls, increasing structural rigidity and reducing lodging in cereals and tall crops.

• Improves Nutrient Efficiency: Enhances uptake and mobility of essential micronutrients like zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and boron (B), leading to overall better crop nutrition.

• Drought and Heat Resistance: Helps in reducing transpiration losses by forming a silica barrier, improving water retention under drought or high temperature.

• Pest and Disease Resistance: Creates a mechanical barrier against sucking and chewing pests. Also improves resistance to fungal pathogens such as powdery mildew and leaf spot diseases.

• Enhanced Yield and Quality: Leads to better flowering, fruit setting, and ultimately higher yields with improved quality parameters such as size, color, and shelf life.

• Soil Health Improvement: Reactivates the microbial life in soil and assists in neutralizing toxic elements like aluminum and heavy metals.

• Increased Photosynthesis: Optimizes leaf angle and chlorophyll synthesis, leading to better light interception and higher photosynthetic efficiency.

• Micronutrient Buffering: Acts as a carrier and stabilizer for micronutrients, reducing their leaching and ensuring longer availability in the root zone.

• For foliar application:
  Mix 2–3 grams of Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil application per liter of water. Spray uniformly during the vegetative and flowering stages.

• For soil application:
  Use 5–10 kg per acre, either mixed with FYM (farmyard manure), compost, or through broadcasting before final irrigation or sowing.

• For fertigation:
  Add 3–5 kg per acre through drip or sprinkler irrigation systems.

• Suitable for: All field crops, horticultural crops, vegetables, fruits, floriculture, and plantation crops.

• First application: 20–25 days after sowing/transplanting

• Second application: At the time of flowering

• Third application of Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil (optional): During fruit development or pod filling stage

Apply early morning or late evening for best absorption. Avoid spraying during high heat or rain.

• Always perform a compatibility test when mixing with other agrochemicals.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

• Use protective gloves and a mask while handling the powder.

• Do not exceed recommended dosages.

• Keep out of reach of children and animals.

• Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure.

Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil application remains effective for 36 months (3 years) from the date of manufacture when stored in a dry, airtight container at room temperature.

• Available in HDPE/LDP laminated pouches and air-sealed containers:
  • 1 kg pouch
  • 5 kg bucket
  • 10 kg sack
  • Custom bulk packaging available upon request

All packaging is moisture-resistant, tamper-proof, and designed to preserve product quality.

Silicon Powder Grade-1 foliar-soil application is not a substitute for essential NPK fertilizers but serves as a complementary product to enhance plant resilience and improve the efficiency of fertilizers and micronutrients. Continuous and integrated use ensures long-term soil productivity, healthier crops, and higher economic returns for farmers.

For best results, integrate Silicon Powder (Grade-1 foliar-soil application) into your seasonal crop nutrition plan, especially in stress-prone and micronutrient-deficient fields.
