CropSIL is a beneficial plant nutrient enhancer. CropSIL is not a fertilizer or micronutrient. Produced from silicon that is virtually found in all soils, but not to plants until now. CropSIL will strengthen the plants cell walls producing stronger healthier plants with massive root systems and increased resistance to pests and disease. CropSIL is very alkaline, it has a high pH, and can therefore be used effectively to raise the pH of hydroponic nutrient solutions. CropSIL is highly beneficial to plants at very low rates as a foliar spray or drip. CropSIL can be mixed with other chemical or organic fertilizers and nutrients. CropSIL has an important role in the uptake and vascular transport of micro-nutrients, and can greatly improve the mechanical strength of the plant and its resistance to fungal diseases. The addition of CropSIL to nutrient solutions can greatly reduce the incidence and severity of fungal diseases including Botrytis (bud rot) and powdery mildew. Recent research has demonstrated that raising the silicon levels in hydroponic solutions produced thicker, whiter, healthier root systems and increased yields. CropSIL has also been to result in higher concentrations of chlorophyll per unit area of leaf tissue and better root system. This means that a plant is able to tolerate both lower and higher light levels by using more of the light and better water management in drought.
