How important is silicon fertilizer to crops?

Silicon-loving crops include rice, wheat, corn, sugar cane, peanuts, cotton, cucumbers, tomatoes, fruit trees, reeds, etc. In addition, there are many other crops also known as silicon-loving crops, such as corn, sweet potato, cotton, tomato, watermelon, pepper, tea tree, honeysuckle, wolfberry, Chinese medicinal materials, peanuts, soybeans, sesame, walnuts, etc.

 

Why use fluid silicon fertilizer?


1. The soil is deficient in silicon.


2. Silicon is an important element in plants, especially crops such as rice. The resistance of silicon-deficient crops will be easily reduced, and it is particularly easy to cause various diseases.


3. Applying silicon fertilizer can correct soil acidity, improve soil, and promote the decomposition of organic fertilizers.


4. If greenhouse vegetables are grown continuously for more than two years, a large number of molds and germs will be produced. The application of silicon fertilizer can effectively prevent molds and various germs, and reduce the survival rate and reproduction rate of mold germs.


5. Silicon is the fourth largest element, and brick fertilizer is listed as the fourth largest element after nitrogen and potassium by International Soil Fruit. Silicon fertilizer is a kind of quality fertilizer, health fertilizer and plant regulating fertilizer. It is a new type of multifunctional fertilizer that is incomparable to chemical fertilizers.

 

Benefits of using fluid silicon fertilizer


1. Silicon is an indispensable medium element for crops. Applying silicon fertilizer can improve problems such as weak leaves, fallen leaves, hollow fruits, and light weight.


2. Fluid silicon fertilizer is a new type of fully water-soluble silicon fertilizer, which is fully nutritious, fully absorbed, instant-soluble and fast-effective. It can quickly replenish the element during the peak period of crop silicon demand, and the effect of liquid silicon fertilizer is dozens of times that of solid silicon fertilizer.


3. After crops absorb silicon, it promotes photosynthesis in leaves and the accumulation of organic matter, regulates the opening and closing of leaf stomata and inhibits water transpiration, and enhances the mechanical strength and toughness of leaves, fruits, and stems. Extends the life of leaves, makes leaves thick and vigorous, and improves the ability of flowers and fruits to withstand freezing, cold, and rain. A kind of harder silicified cells is formed on the surface of the crop, which enhances the crop's resistance to insect, disease, drought and other stresses, reduces the occurrence of pests and diseases, and prevents yellow leaves, small leaves and fallen leaves.

 

4. Fluid silicon fertilizer is a good soil conditioner and improves the soil aggregate structure. Enhance soil permeability, increase root vitality, develop root systems, improve the utilization of soil phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, strengthen the absorption and utilization of calcium and magnesium, and enhance pollen vitality and fruit setting rate. Prevent fruit cracking, fruit shrinkage and deformed fruit, increase fruit hardness, correct fruit shape, bright fruit surface, good coloring, good taste, resistant to storage and transportation, extend the shelf life, improve quality and increase yield.

Effects of using some crops


①Rice
After applying silicon fertilizer to rice, the effects in all aspects are particularly obvious. Rice absorbs a large amount of silicon. After application, the thickness of epidermal cells increases, the stems and leaves are straight and thick, the roots are lush, and the photosynthetic rate is promoted. The tillering rate, ear setting rate, grain plumpness, drought resistance and lodging ability are all improved in the middle and late stages. It can also promote early maturity, improve grain quality, and resist pests and diseases.


②Corn
After applying silicon fertilizer to corn, the stems will be strong, the knots will be reduced, the toughness will be enhanced, and the ability to resist lodging will be improved. It also enhances stress resistance, makes corn ears larger, reduces bald tips, increases grain setting rate, and increases yield. After application, the ability to resist pests and diseases is effectively improved.


③Peanuts
After applying silicon fertilizer to peanuts, the needles are inserted deeply and firmly, the root system is lush, the plants are strong, the empty shell rate is reduced, the number of double-pome fruits and multi-pome fruits is increased, and the fruiting rate is high.


④Fruit trees
After applying silicon fertilizer to fruit tree crops, it has outstanding effects on tree vigor, root systems, fruits, diseases and insect pests, etc. After application during the growth period, the stems will be strong, the leaves will be green and shiny, the photosynthetic rate will be increased, and the green leaf period of the leaves will be increased. During the fruiting period, fruit drop, deformed fruit, cracked fruit, and fruit shrinkage are reduced. The leaves should be yellow at this stage. The application of silicon fertilizer can also reduce physiological conditions such as small leaves, yellow leaves, rolled leaves, and fallen leaves, so that the fruit can be uniform in size, taste good, and have good color, achieving the effect of being put on the market in advance. And the use of silicon fertilizer reduces the incidence of various fruit tree diseases and insect pests.


⑤Grapes
After applying silicon fertilizer to grapes, the fruit ear rate increases, the coloring is fast, the hardness is high, and the grapes are released earlier.
