Description
LIQUID SILICA SUPPLEMENTATION FOR OPTIMUM CROP VITALITY
AgriSil® K50 helps activate and enhance the plants own natural resistance mechanisms to environmental stress factors, pest pressure and also increases the plants ability to absorb and transport nutrients.
A soluble, plant-available form of silica. This potassium silicate-based liquid fertilizer provides essential silica supplementation across all crop types to support structural integrity and biological resilience.
By depositing silica directly below the cuticle to form a protective mechanical barrier and supporting internal vascular functioning, AgriSil K50 ensures that the plant is structurally optimized to maximize growth, nutrient transport, and overall productivity.
Benefits
-
Efficient uptake at comparatively low application rates.
-
Strengthens plant cells to drastically improve structural integrity, resulting in improved crop quality and an enhanced post-harvest shelf-life for flowers and fruits.
-
Significantly improves crop tolerance to harsh abiotic stresses such as extreme heat, cold, and drought
-
Builds a mechanical barrier via silica deposition below the cuticle, reinforcing the outer cell wall against environmental pressures.
-
Supports vascular functioning by reinforcing vascular bundles, keeping them open for more efficient translocation of nutrients and improved water use efficiency.
-
Acts as a vital catalyst for the plant's natural resistance responses, allowing complex self-defense mechanisms to activate faster and more effectively against a wide range of pests and diseases.
-
Serves as an ideal non-pesticidal partner in any Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program by boosting the plant's own immunity.

How To Use
Foliar or through Irrigation for row crops, Vegetables and small fruit, Tree crops and vines.
Through irrigation for nurseries and Hydroponics.
Irrigation:
- 2ml per 5L of water. ( 5ml per 5L of water MAXIMUM ) Outdoors, once every 2 to 3 weeks. In containerized nurseries and hydroponic facilities, a weekly application is recommended.
Field Per HA:
- 0.5L/ha to a maximum of 5L/ha depending on the crop
Application notes:
- AgriSil® K50 is highly alkaline (pH >11) and as such can cause compatibility problems related to this
high alkalinity. - Buffering agents - Not all buffering agents are compatible with AgriSil® K50. Check for compatibility
before making large tank mixes. - Silica salts in general are highly reactive. Avoid mixing with products containing salts of magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminium.
- Always conduct a jar test before mixing product or consult your distributor.
- Always dilute AgriSil® K50 with water before adding to the tank mix.
Storage Note:
- Store in a dark, cool place - Never in direct sunlight.
- At ambient temperature the product should maintain its predicted activity for up to 3 months.
