Mahadhan Silicon Fertiliser

Plants typically absorb bio-available silicon as a silicate – generally known as monosilicic or orthosilicic acid
In the soil, Silica is generally abundant as mineral quartz and clays, but its abundance in soluble form (mono-silicic acid) is highly variable
Plants take up silicon into their root and shoot tissue but it is not returned through shoot tissue, instead it is returned through biodegradation
Silicon is deposited as silica in the plant cell walls, improving cell wall structural rigidity and strength, plant architecture and leaf erectness
In plants Si can stimulate nutrient uptake and plant photosynthesis, decrease susceptibility to disease and insect damage, alleviate water and various mineral stresses and decrease the toxic effects of aluminium

Silicon fertilisers also enhance the plants’ ability to resist or tolerate biotic stress such as attack of insect pests and fungal attacks
Silicon fertilisers can help alleviate abiotic stresses due to acidity, salinity and toxicities
Silicon fertilisers can help reduce water loss and transpiration
Hence farmers fetch a healthy crop with more yield with more returns per unit area
