Super Silicon 98–99%
Super Silicon 98–99% is a premium food grade silicon micronutrient and biostimulant product based on highly pure silicon (as Ortho silicic acid precursors). It comprises silicon available (Si) to the plant in a range of 98–99%, which promotes strengthening of the plant cell walls, enhanced against abiotic stress and a source of nutrient uptake. Silicon has not been accepted as an essential element, but the effect of silicon as a biostimulant to improve plant vigor, resistance and grain yield is now well understood.

Specification
- Non-Plant Food Ingredient : Silicon dioxide (SiO2), derived from quartz sand.
- Chemical Formula : SiO (available as orthosilicic acid)
- Silicon Content : 98–99%
- Physical Description : white amorphous powder
- Soluble : Insoluble in water, highly absorbable
- Purity : Agricultural/Bioavailable quality
- pH (1% Solution) : ~10.5
Benefits
- Reinforces plant cell walls to increase resistance to fungal and bacterial predators.
- Improved ability to tolerate abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature variation.
- Finally, it helps the root systems of the plant to grow more robustly as well.
- Enhances the absorption of other elements like phosphorus, potassium and calcium.
- Enhances photosynthesis efficiency and metabolic activity resulting in higher yields.
- It delays senescence, resulting in longer leaf longevity and higher productivity.
- And in horticulture increases fruit set in pome fruit and other fruits, reduces lodging in cereals and improves fruit firmness.
- Extends post-harvest shelf life and quality by strengthening cellular structure.
Application
- Soil Application :
Super Silicon 98–99% to be applied at 2-4 kg/acre according to soil condition and crop requirement. For best results use with organic matter or compost. - Foliar Spray :
Use Super Silicon 98–99% a 0.5–1% solution (500–1000 grams in 100 liters of water per acre). Recommended during vegetative and pre-flowering stages. - Drip Irrigation :
Rate : 500–1000 grams per acre as fertigation, depending on crop and stage.
Time
- Great from start to finish early veg through bloom.
- It can be re-sprayed in fruit-growing stage to enhance the firmness and transportation resistance.
- Refrain from foliar sprays in the midday heat.
Precaution
- Do not use Super Silicon 98–99% more than the amount recommended, as excess silicon may shift the pH of the soil.
- Make sure the product is evenly mixed during foliar and drip applications.
- Do not spray Super Silicon 98–99% in the heat of the day or in direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf burning.
- Use gloves, mask, and protective clothing while handling.
- Keep Super Silicon 98–99% dry and airy place without moisture.
Shelf Life
3 years from date of manufacture under the recommended storage conditions in original unopened packing, away from the direct sunlight, moisture, light and heat.
Packaging
- Standard bag size : 25 kg crafted bag with liner
- Customizable as per client/manufacturer/trader requirement
