Potassium Silicate 1810
General Introduction
“Nutritech Potassium Silicate 1810” is based of the raw material “potassium silicate”, as a result of which it provides potassium and silicon at the same time to the plants. Simultaneous supply of the two elements leads to the strength of plants & tissues and increases plants resistance to the environmental stress. Also, it leads to better growth and development of plant organs due to seaweed and free amino acids contents.

Silicate is one of the most useful materials for plants, which increases the thickness, firmness and plant leaf strength. The combination of silicate and potassium has an effective role in improving the quality and firmness of fruit texture as well as increasing the shelf life of the products. Potassium silicate reduces the sunburn effects when the temperature and radiation are high in summer. Application of potassium silicate, at the right time, helps reduce blankness in pistachio, it also strengthens the cell walls; So, the damage of some pests such as psylla is lowered.
