1️⃣ Silicon Nutrient Source
Supplies soluble silicon (Si) to crops
Strengthens plant cell walls
Improves stem strength (reduces lodging in paddy)
2️⃣ Increases Stress Tolerance
Helps plants tolerate:
Drought
Heat
Salinity
Heavy rainfall stress
Very useful for cardamom and paddy in high rainfall areas like Idukki.
3️⃣Disease Resistance
Reduces fungal diseases like:
Blast in paddy
Powdery mildew
Leaf spots
Silicon forms a protective barrier in leaf tissue.
4️⃣Pest Tolerance
Makes leaves tougher
Reduces sucking pest damage (thrips, mites)
5️⃣ Improves Yield & Quality
Better root growth
More tillers in rice
Improved grain filling
Higher overall yield
Recommended Dose 1-2 ml per liter water for spray and drenching
