Silica is an essential element for plants. The new Silicate contains ancient deposits of biologically transformed organic materials, as well as clays with a high content of soluble silicates.
Silicate provides a natural form of silica which penetrates the cells of the plant and creates protection against disease and insect attack.
In the nutrient solution, Silicate increases cation exchange and optimizes nutrient availability by forming colloids.
Silicate stabilizes pH and conductivity levels, reduces stress conditions for the plant and stimulates faster growth.
It also protects against heavy metal potency.
Finally, Silicate contains more than 60 minerals and offers a complementary supply of microelements favoring the development of the plant.
Coming from old deposits similar to the previous formula, Silicate also offers:
More silicates.
Smaller particles, for better solubility.
Carbonates for better pH stability of nutrient solutions.
Calcium, useful to the plant.
