The Benefits of Using Silica Powder in Agriculture
The second most abundant element on the earth’s crust is Silicon, (after oxygen). It forms 27.7% of the earth’s crust by mass and is available as oxides and silicates. It is processed in furnaces and after proper decomposition of the element thermally it is ready for use in various industries. From semiconductors and microcomputers to the glass industry, cosmetics and pharma industries, it has wide use in our day-to-day lives. Not to forget silicon’s vital role in plants along with mankind. Silicon plays a distinct role in the lifecycle of the plants and it can be used in various forms after the processing for better results in productivity. Mostly we use silica powder for agriculture and gain the crop yield.
In agriculture, with the shift from chemical fertilizers to organic ones, we have noticed a decline in productivity in some areas. But, silica powder is not a harm for producers nor the consumers. We provide pure silica powder for your crops without any adulteration and which is easily dispersible in water. It is most commonly used as bio-fertilizers and has many benefits which are not known by most of us.
Benefits of Silica Powder for Agriculture:
- It makes the cell walls of the plants stronger.
- Improves the crop growth along with yield and also makes the shoot system upright with adequate strength.
- Silica powder increases the resistance for pathogens in plants and yield increases.
- Helps in intake of potassium, calcium and magnesium.
- Alleviates iron toxicity.
- Helps in less irrigation and completes the biomass deficiency.
- Reduces the lodging.
These benefits of silica powder for agriculture are provided by many studies after proper research and this makes this abundant element a useful part in agriculture along with other industrial purposes. Furthermore, the use of silica powder as a fertilizer is not limited to one specific kind of farming; you can use any type of farming you are practicing, whether it is organic, or conventional. Make sure to buy the quality product to have results after the use. For quality assured products you can contact us and have an increased productivity this cropping season.
