Potassium Silicate Powder

Potassium Silicate is an inorganic water-soluble compound that offers the benefit of being a soluble silicon source and soluble potassium source that is accessible to plants. It is powdered and enhances plant nutrition and cell wall reinforcement, enhances biotic and abiotic stress resistance, and enhances overall plant performance. Potassium Silicate is applied in hydroponics, greenhouse production, and traditional agriculture.

The silicon content of Potassium Silicate is a structural element to fortify plant cell walls and thereby renders the plant insect-resistant, resistant to fungal infection, and lodging-resistant. It also counteracts the effect of environmental stresses such as drought, salt, and temperature. It aids enzymatic activity, water balance, and carbohydrate metabolism required to maintain healthy plant growth and optimum yield.

Potassium Silicate Powder is used as a soil drench, foliar spray, or fertigation system nutrient additive. It is used in cereals, sugarcane, fruit and vegetables, and horticultural flowers. It is appreciated in integrated pest and disease management systems for minimizing chemical fungicide and pesticide use and hence supporting sustainable agriculture.

Aside from its use in agriculture, Potassium Silicate is also employed in horticulture and as a protective sealant for organic products. It can also be used as a reagent for the analysis of silicates or as an adhesive component of some laboratory products.

This product is more soluble, stable in storage, and convenient. It is simple to formulate and store in powder form. Dilution and pH adjustment are recommended to promote nutrient absorption so that precipitation is prevented.

Potassium Silicate Powder is a key agricultural commodity for farmers who would like to enhance the health of plants, promote growth, and maintain soil health.
