Description
Silicador
Silicador is a liquid fertilizer contains silicon and potassium to strengthen the plant and help it resist diseases and unsuitable conditions.
The importance of Silicador for the plant:
- Contains potassium, which is responsible for the water balance of the plant and protecting it from dehydration, Opening and closing stomata in plant leaves to regulate the process of transpiration and the transfer of nutrients inside the plant. It also helps speed up the transfer of processed carbohydrates in the leaves to fruits and all parts of the plant.
Symptoms of potassium deficiency:
– Yellowing and dryness of the edges of the leaves
– General weakness and dehydration of the plant
- Silicador also contains a high concentration of silicon which included in the composition of the cell walls in the form of polymers that make Cell wall are tougher and therefore resistant to penetration by fungi. and more frost tolerant
It also has a role in the ripening of fruits and increasing their hardness
Mixing:
- Can be mixed with most fertilizers.
- Do not mix with insecticides.
Composition:
Silicon (SiO2)………… 24%
Potassium (K2O)……….15%
