Produces healthier & stronger plant growth:
Once silica is taken up by the
roots, it is deposited in the plant’s cell walls as a solid, rigid
'quartz-like' matrix. This produces a ‘mechanically’ stronger
plant which enables superior leaf orientation and therefore greater
rates of photosynthesis and growth.

Increases weight & shelf-life of fruit:
Accumulation of silica in plant cells
increases cell weight and integrity.
|
|
Increases plant tolerance to heat
stress/
wilting.
|
|
Improves healing rate and neatness of
pruning wounds:
This property is especially beneficial in
commercial cropping of plants such as tomato and cucumber where regular
pruning threatens the plant's survival due to the risk of disease
ingress.
