Silicon Powder For Foliar Spray

Silicon powder for foliar spray is a type of plant nutrient that contains silicon in a finely ground powder form that can be easily dissolved in water and applied as a foliar spray.

Silicon is a naturally occurring mineral that is not considered an essential nutrient for plant growth. However, research has shown that plants that have access to sufficient silicon can have improved resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses, such as drought, heat, and disease.

When applied as a foliar spray, silicon powder can be absorbed by plant leaves and quickly transported to all parts of the plant. This can help to increase plant resistance to stress and improve overall plant health.

Silicon powder for foliar spray can be applied to a range of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It is particularly useful for plants that are growing in stressful conditions or are susceptible to disease.

It is important to follow recommended rates and guidelines when using silicon powder for foliar spray, as excessive use can lead to reduced plant growth and yield. It is also important to ensure that the silicon powder is completely dissolved in water before application to avoid clogging of spray equipment.
