Silicon Dioxide
Description
Description
It supplies silicon to the crop which in turn reduces transpiration, salinity stress and water stress. It retards excessive vegetative growth and converts it into reproductive growth of the plant. When drenched in soil, Silicon Dioxide effectively deters the entry of mycopathogens into the root system hence can be used as a preventive and curative measure against phytopthora, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium etc.
It strengthens the cell wall, helps in shoot development and imparts resistance to the plant against pests and diseases. It can be used to control phytopthora in orange and pomegranate.
