Water Soluble Silica Product

Pro N Si

Silicon is one of the most important fortification nutrients for plants. Until now, it has been inefficient to try to deliver Silicon to plants. Often Silicon (Silicate) formulations are high in pH and not compatible with other nutrients. Plants store Silicon in the Opaline form, which is the form of Silicon provided by PRO N Silica. As a neutral molecule extracted from plants for use on other plants, the Opaline form of Silicon (Silica) should be delivered with a neutral carrier such as Plant derived protein nitrogen. PRO N SILICA is a highly concentrated powder which contains both the carrier Protein Nitrogen (14%) and Opaline Silica (20%)

Opaline Silica

Plants store Silicon in the Opaline form, which is the form of Silicon provided in PRO N Silica.

Highly Concentrated

PRO N Silica is a Highly Concentrated Powder which contains both the carrier Protein Nitrogen (14%) and Opaline Silicon (20%).

Stronger Cell Wall

Silica is responsible for Stronger Cell Walls, Thicker Leaf Blades, More Roots, Less Trans-evaporation. You will also see increased wear tolerance, better ball speed and better cut mowing

Neutral pH

Most Silica products have ultra high pH's, Pro N Si being plant derived mean a neutral pH

Science

The Science behind the label

Benefits:

· Builds stronger cell walls

· Deposition of silicon in root cell walls canassist in growing a stronger root system

· Heat and drought tolerance incrementally throughphotosynthesis and a reduced transpiration rate (leaf thickening)

· Leaf tensile strength

· Will potentially protect plants from a varietyof biotic and abiotic stresses such as plant pathogens, herbivores and drought

· Will depress Iron and Manganese toxicity risks

· Resistance to fungal diseases and chemicaladversity

· Needs Boron to activate

· Silicon accumulation can also enhance Calciumand Potassium accumulation in plant tissue

Silicon is one of the most under utilized nutrients in the turf industry. When looking at nutrients % of dry weight in a grassy plant, Silicon ranks 5th in the overall percentage. The importance of silicon for root development, stress mitigation and overall plant growth.
