Description
AgSil 16H is a soluble form of potassium silicate providing the plant a 100% available source of silicon and potassium that are essential for optimum plant growth and health. Potassium Silicate strengthens the plant’s internal processes and external defenses. Agsil16h low salt index makes it extremely safe to all crops including sensitive crops. AgSil applied in the soil or foliar aids the plant during periods of drought, extreme temperatures, cold, frost, heat stress, salinity and mineral toxicity (Al,Cd,As,Mn,Fe) and other abiotic stresses. AgSil16H activates the plants immune system helping it to resist against foliar and soil diseases cause by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses and other biotic stresses. Based on the crop, AgSIL16H should be applied as a foliar spray or to the soil using ground equipment or irrigation systems. AgSil 16Hcan be incorporated into most spray tank mixes. Caution: Always add agsil16h first to the water.
Guaranteed Analysis:
Silica: (Si02) 53%
Soluble Potash: (K2O) 32%
Derived From: Potassium Silicate
ALSO CONTAINS NON-PLANT FOOD INGREDIENT: 52% Silicon Dioxide (Si02) derived from Potassium Silicate.
Small Scale Application Rate: Use 1/2 tsp Per Gallon of Water for Foliar Spray, Soil Drench or Emulsifier.
Per ACRE Rate:
Drench, Apply 1 to 3 pounds per acre in sufficient water for thorough spray coverage.
Aerial/Foliar: Apply 1 to 3 pounds per acre in minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre.
How to make a Liquid Stock Solution:
Add 146 grams per litre, 560 grams per gallon.
Use at 2.5-5ml per gallon.
Add to water first, mix well. Make sure ph is in between 6-6.5 if adding other nutrients. Never mix concentrated silicon solutions with other concentrated fertilizers. Silica can lock out other ions.
0.7 grams in one gallon of water yields 98ppm SiO2 or 46ppm Si, and 49ppm K
WARNING: CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
