Ten Functions of Silicon Fertilizer in Agriculture

Silicon fertilizer is a kind of good quality fertilizer, health fertilizer and plant regulating fertilizer. It is a new multifunctional fertilizer that other chemical fertilizers can not compare with. Silicon fertilizer can be used not only as fertilizer, providing nutrients, but also as soil conditioner, improving soil. In addition, it also has the functions of disease prevention, pest control and attenuation. With its non-toxic, odorless, non-deterioration, non-loss, pollution-free outstanding advantages, it will become a high-efficiency and high-quality fertilizer for the development of green ecological agriculture.

Ten Functions of Silicon Fertilizer in Agriculture

Silicon is an important nutrient element in the composition of plants and is listed as the fourth largest element after nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by the international soil community.

2. Silicon fertilizer is beneficial to improve photosynthesis and chlorophyll content of crops, straighten stems and leaves, and promote organic matter accumulation.

3. Silicon fertilizer can increase the mechanical strength of crop stems, improve lodging resistance by more than 85%, make stems straight, and facilitate dense planting.

4, silicon fertilizer can improve crop resistance to diseases and insect pests, reduce the occurrence of various diseases and insect pests, crops absorb silicon, can form siliconized cells in the plant body, so that the stem and leaf surface cell wall thickening, cuticle increased, forming a solid protective layer, so that insects are not easy to bite, bacteria difficult to invade. (especially to rice blast, sheath blight, bacterial blight, stem rot, seedling rot, leaf spot, smut, sclerotinia, rust, powdery mildew, black spot, downy mildew, gray mold, bacterial wilt, blight, root rot, stem borer, rice planthopper, aphid, cotton bollworm, drill worm, whitefly, root nematode, etc.)

5. Silicon fertilizer can enhance the ventilation of crops, prevent root rot and premature senescence, and play an important role in controlling rice root rot.

6. Silicon fertilizer can effectively regulate the opening and closing of stomata and inhibit water transpiration, and enhance the drought resistance, dry and hot wind resistance, cold resistance and low temperature resistance of crops.

7. Silicon fertilizer can enhance pollen vigor of melon and fruit crops, and silicon fertilizer can significantly improve fruit yield during flowering.

8. Silicon fertilizer can reduce the fixation of phosphorus fertilizer in soil, activate phosphorus in soil and promote the absorption of phosphorus by roots, and improve the utilization rate of phosphorus fertilizer. Strengthening the absorption and utilization of calcium and magnesium can well regulate the balanced absorption of different nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by crops, which is called "plant regulatory fertilizer".

9, silicon fertilizer is a health fertilizer, can activate beneficial microorganisms, improve soil, correct soil acidity, improve soil salt base, promote the decomposition of organic fertilizer, inhibit soil bacteria, anti-continuous cropping and reduce heavy metal pollution.

10, silicon fertilizer is a quality fertilizer, can significantly improve the quality of agricultural products, effectively prevent fruit cracking, fruit shrinkage and abnormal fruit, increase the hardness of the fruit, make the fruit shape correct, good coloring, good taste, good commodity quality, storage and transportation resistance, extend the shelf life.
