Agrisilica® benefits plant health

Every crop grown contains silicon—often in quantities similar to the macro elements N, P and K.
It has been known for decades that silicon is taken up by plants and deposited in cell walls, giving the plant structural strength by enhancing cell wall strength.

The result is that plants with adequate silicon have increased resistance to pests and disease.
Researchers have recently identified many other benefits of silicon—it plays an important role in biochemical pathways that increase the plants tolerance to many abiotic stresses (e.g. drought, salinity, frost) and biotic stresses (pests and diseases). By priming the plant when stresses are first affecting it, the plant is better able to withstand these stresses.
The fact that stress (particularly abiotic stresses) has the biggest negative impact on yield and quality, means growers must consider silicon in their fertiliser programs.
Agrisilica®
Agrisilica® is a product that delivers a high concentration of plant available silicon, making it the leading natural silicon fertiliser worldwide.
Over the past seven years, Agrisilica has been shown to increase crop yields and improved crop quality in independently conducted trials.
The Agrisilica product range includes fertiliser and soil amendment products. Agrisilica is registered for use in organic agriculture, which demonstrates the quality and safe environmental benefit of these products.
