PRO SILICATE GROTEK
Pro-Silicate™ is a very beneficial nutrient for plants that is 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 greater resistance to pests and diseases.
It should be added as an independent component each time a new plant is prepared. feed tank.
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 produces systems denser, whiter and healthier roots and larger harvests. Additionally, 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 use the greatest amount of available light.
Main benefits of applying Pro-Silicate™:
- Improves nutrient absorption and transport throughout the plant.
- Strengthens cell walls, and helps plants resist attacks by fungi and mites.
- Increases chlorophyll production, resulting in darker green leaves and considerably improving light retention/absorption.
- Increases the absorption of available CO2 and uses intensified metabolic processes to provide greater yields.
- It provides additional potassium, which is crucial for better flowering.
- Greater tolerance to high salinity, reducing problems caused by nutrient toxicity and/or their imbalance.
