Amul Silicic Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid

Product Details:

• The only known form of silica which can be easily absorbed by plants.
• Amul Silicic is derived through a unique formulation of stabilized orthosilicic acid.
• Though silica occurs naturally and abundantly (up to 28%) in the soil in the form of silicate (SIN it cannot be directly absorbed by the plants.
• Under this stabilized (OSA) form silica is absorbed and assimilated by the plants and utilized most effectively.

Advantages and benefits:

• Silicic is a beneficial catalytic nutrient playing a vital role in increasing the available form of nutrients, enhancing nutrient uptake & utilization, hence leading to healthy plants.
• Amul Silicic improves plant resistance against water, soil and temperature stress.
• Amul Silicic is non-toxic and leaves no residue in the produce.
• Amul Silicic improves plant resistance to fight against fungal, insect and mite attacks.
• All these factors automatically lead to increase in yield, quality and storage life of the produce.
• Elevates the ph of soil and adsorption capacity thereby reducing the activity of harmful anaerobic bacteria and also prevents metal toxicity/ accumulation.
• Better seedling growth, increased leaf area & chlorophyll content, better photosynthesis rate, and better fruit development / quality / yield / shelf life.

Abiotic Stress

• Temperature Fluctuations, Water Shortage, Excess Rain & Soil Related Stresses (Acidity, Alkalinity, Salinity, Heavy Metats, etc).
• Abiotic stress today is the biggest factor of productivity loss in today's agriculture.
• Unfortunately there is no cure/treatment for this, Amul Silicic plays vital role as preventive measure to alleviate Abiotic Stress.
• Stress Relief Mechanisms:
• Increased Production of Antioxidants.
• Binding and co-precipitation with Metal Ions.
• Immbilization of Metal Ions in the soil.
• Modification of element uptake processes.
• Silification of leaf surfaces can significantly decrease water loss by transpiration and thus reduce drought stress.
• Increases heat tolerance.

Biotic Stress

• Due To Fungal, Bacterial, Insect, Mites etc Attack.
• Silicic acid induces plant defense mechanism to produce antifungal or antibacterial compounds.
• Bacterial and Fungal damage in crop plants is reduced when silica is deposited at sites of attack, mechanically impeding pathogen penetration.
