Though Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element of the earth’s crust after oxygen, It has been observed that Plant available silicon is depleted in  present day soils  which is leading to weak and disease prone plants.  The need for proper Silicon management to increase yield and sustain crop productivity is necessary in temperate as well in tropical countries. 

Plasil’s readily available silicon is widely useful in all the crops and given its natural form has no side effects on any crops  and is especially high in grass family crops like rice, sugarcane , maize, wheat etc. Grass family crops have high silicon assimilation rates and need silicon in huge quantity for sustained development.

• Plasil Organic’s active Silicon is in plant available form.
• Allows seeds to grow even under salt or water stress.
• Increases stem strength, helps in very strong root development and increased root nodules.
• Increases leaf width, length and chlorophyll content.
• Better yield and increased crop size / improves flowering.
• Maintains water levels in plant system.
• Improves uptake and utilization of all other nutrients.
• Prevents absorption of toxic metals and protects the crop.
• Can change root plasticity, thereby increasing stress tolerance.
• Increases antioxidant defenses and therefore maintained physiological processes such as photosynthesis.
• Develops immunity in plants to fight against biotic stress – fungus, insects, virus & nematodes etc.
• Silicon also exerts alleviative effects on various abiotic stresses including salt stress, metal toxicity, drought stress, radiation damage, nutrient imbalance, high temperature, freezing and so on.
