Healthy Earth UltraSilica is an ultra-fine wettable fertiliser powder. Remineralise your soil with this sprayable non-crystalline silica mineral powder. Perfect for home gardening in combination with our Liquid NPK or Cal/Mag.
Main Features:
1. Silica offers several amazing benefits to rhizomes (root system biome):
2. Cell wall strengthening: Silica deposits into plant cells, reinforcing cell walls and
promoting healthy growth.
3. Root development: Silica stimulates root growth, branching, and density,
enhancing nutrient uptake and water absorption.
4. Disease resistance: Silica helps plants build natural defenses against pathogens
and diseases.
5. Drought tolerance: Silica improves water retention in plants, reducing drought
stress.
6. Nutrient availability: Silica can increase the availability of essential nutrients, like
phosphorus, to the roots.
7. Soil structure improvement: Silica helps aggregate soil particles, improving soil
porosity, aeration, and water infiltration.
8. Microbial stimulation: Silica provides a habitat for beneficial microorganisms,
promoting a healthy rhizosphere
9. Plant stress reduction: Silica can alleviate stress caused by extreme
temperatures, salinity, and oxidative stress.
10. By incorporating silica-rich ‘UltraSilica [wettable]’ into soil, you can create a more
favourable environment for rhizomes to thrive, leading to healthier and more resilient
plants, crops and pasture.
For spraying: ‘UltraSilica [wettable]’ is very compatible with most other products.
Application Rate: 3 kg/100 ltrs.
Science: On the laboratory scale, multiple studies have shown a positive effect of
Silica fertilisation on plant performance under drought conditions. Several parameters
were found to be improved after Si-fertilisation: higher biomass production, larger leaf
area, elevated root length, increased plant nutrition, higher leaf water potential and
higher relative plant water content, as well as increased photosynthetic activity and
stomatal conductance of drought-stressed plants. During good weather, the benefits
are the same, of course. However, the early applications of HealthyEarth Silica
products help give advanced protection against drought and difficult weather.
Ensure filters and nozzles are suitable for this product.
