Product Description

Silica, also known as silicon dioxide, is a fundamental component of the Earth's crust, making up about 28% of its composition. This abundant mineral plays a pivotal role in strengthening plant cell walls, enhancing their physical structure, and aiding in their defense against diseases and pests. Introducing Future Harvest's Silica-Up, the pinnacle of silica supplements designed to elevate plant health and yield potential. With a powerful blend of 17% Soluble Potash and 17% Silicate, Silica-Up fortifies plant cellular structure, enabling them to bear more weight, especially during the crucial flowering phase. The outcome? Consistently impressive harvests.

Why is Silica Essential for Plants?

Silica is translocated to the plant's cell wall through its roots, improving structural integrity to combat both abiotic (like drought and waterlogging) and biotic stressors (like pests and diseases). Furthermore, sources of Silicon-rich minerals are abundantly available, but it's the type of silicon converted into the plant-available form that counts most. Silica-Up ensures that plants receive this essential element in its most effective form, promoting overall plant health and vitality.

The Role of Potash and Silicate in Silica-Up

Potash, primarily composed of potassium oxide, is vital for plants as it regulates many physiological processes, including photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and water uptake. Silicate, on the other hand, provides the much-needed silica that plants require for robust growth. Together, these components in Silica-Up provide a balanced nutrient profile, ensuring healthier and more robust plant growth.
