Agrisil K50

AgriSil K50® is an advanced potassium silicate-based liquid fertilizer, specially formulated for comprehensive silica supplementation across a variety of crops, including row crops (maize, wheat), tree crops, small fruits, and even nurseries and hydroponics. Silica is a critical nutrient that plays a vital role in enhancing the structural strength and stress resilience of plants, leading to healthier crops and improved yields.

• Highly Soluble Silica: AgriSil K50® provides an extremely soluble form of silica that is readily available for plant uptake. This allows for efficient application, even at low rates, ensuring optimal results with reduced input costs.

• Strengthened Plant Cells: Silica fortifies plant cell walls, leading to enhanced structural integrity. This results in stronger crops, with benefits such as reduced lodging in cereals like barley, and improved shelf-life for fruits and flowers.

• Enhanced Stress Tolerance: By supporting the plant’s vascular tissue, AgriSil K50® helps plants better manage water and nutrient translocation, which is crucial during periods of environmental stress such as drought, extreme heat, or cold. This translates to a significant reduction in physiological fruit drop and increased resilience to adverse growing conditions.

• Natural Resistance Booster: Silica acts as a ‘catalyst’ in plants, triggering and enhancing their natural resistance mechanisms. This provides improved tolerance to a wide range of pests and diseases, making AgriSil K50® an indispensable partner in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. It does not function as a pesticide, but rather boosts the plant’s innate defenses.

• Non-Toxic and Safe for Harvest: With no Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) and its non-toxic composition, AgriSil K50® can be applied safely up to and during the harvest period, ensuring that crops remain healthy and safe for consumption.

• Versatile Application: Suitable for use in foliar sprays or irrigation systems, AgriSil K50® is versatile enough to meet the needs of various farming methods, including traditional row crops, tree orchards, vineyards, and even hydroponic setups.

• Row Crops (Maize, Wheat, etc.): Apply AgriSil K50® as a foliar spray or through irrigation at a rate of 0.5 L/ha to a maximum of 5 L/ha, depending on the crop.

• Vegetables & Small Fruits (e.g., Berries): Apply as a foliar spray or through irrigation to improve crop quality and yield.

• Tree Crops and Vines: Use as a foliar spray or through irrigation for stronger, healthier trees with improved fruit retention.

• Nurseries & Hydroponics: AgriSil K50® can be integrated into irrigation water for optimal growth in controlled environments.

AgriSil K50® is highly alkaline (pH > 11), which may cause compatibility issues with other agricultural inputs. Avoid mixing it with products containing salts of magnesium, calcium, zinc, or aluminum, and always conduct a jar test before large-scale application. Not all buffering agents are compatible with AgriSil K50®, so compatibility should be checked carefully before tank mixing.

Silica provided by AgriSil K50® is deposited beneath the plant cuticle, forming a mechanical barrier between the plant and its environment. This barrier not only strengthens the plant structure but also helps reinforce vascular bundles, improving the efficiency of water and nutrient transportation within the plant. Additionally, silica acts as a catalyst that accelerates the plant’s natural defense mechanisms, enabling it to respond more quickly and effectively to stresses such as pest attacks or environmental extremes.
