Pro-Silicate™ is a highly beneficial plant nutrient found in virtually all soils but not –until now- in hydroponic/aeroponic nutrient solutions. Silicon strengthens cell walls and produces stronger, healthier plants with very dense root systems and increased resistance to pests and diseases.

It should be added as a separate component every time a new feed is prepared.

Pro-Silicate™ plays an important role in the absorption and vascular transport of mineral nutrients and can greatly improve plant mechanical strength and resistance to fungal diseases. The use of Pro-Silicate™ in nutrient solutions can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of fungal diseases such as Botrytis and Powdery Mildew.

Recent research has shown that the application of silicon in solutions results in denser, whiter and healthier root systems and increased yields. In addition, this nutrient results in higher concentrations of chlorophyll per unit area of leaf tissue. This means that a plant will be able to tolerate both higher and lower light levels because it will be using more energy to absorb more light. the highest amount of available light.

Main benefits of applying Pro-Silicate™:

• Improves nutrient uptake and transport through the plant.
• Strengthens cell walls, helping plants resist fungal and mite attacks.
• Increases chlorophyll production, resulting in darker green leaves and significantly improved light retention/absorption.
• Increases uptake of available CO2 and utilizes heightened metabolic processes to provide higher yields.
• Provides additional potassium, which is crucial for better flowering.
• Higher Tolerance to high salinity, reducing problems caused by nutrient toxicity and/or imbalance.
