Silicon Minerals

Product Description:

Siyal Organics Silicon Minerals is a natural mineral-based soil amendment rich in plant-available Silicon (SiO₂). It strengthens plant cell walls, improves resistance to pests and diseases, and enhances crop quality and yield. Ideal for a wide range of crops, this product is especially beneficial in boosting tolerance to abiotic stresses like drought and salinity.

Benefit

  • 1. Strengthens Plant Structure – Improves cell wall thickness, making plants more robust.
  • 2. Increases Resistance to Stress – Enhances tolerance to drought, heat, and salinity.
  • 3. Improves Disease Resistance – Reduces susceptibility to fungal and bacterial infections.
  • 4. Enhances Crop Quality – Promotes stronger stems, greener leaves, and better grain/fruit filling.
  • 5. Boosts Yield – Encourages healthy growth and productivity across multiple crop cycles.

Work of Silicon Minerals in Agriculture

Silicon Minerals play a crucial role in improving both plant health and soil quality. Though not classified as an essential nutrient, Silicon (Si) is now widely recognized for its beneficial effects on crop performance.

Key Functions of Silicon Minerals in Crops:

  1. Strengthens Cell Walls:

    • Silicon deposits in plant tissues make stems and leaves more rigid and upright.

    • Helps crops resist lodging (falling over), especially in cereals like rice and wheat.

  2. Improves Stress Tolerance:

    • Enhances plant resilience to drought, salinity, and heat stress.

    • Reduces water loss through transpiration and improves root strength.

  3. Boosts Disease Resistance:

    • Forms a protective layer in plant tissues, reducing attack by fungi, pests, and pathogens.

    • Particularly effective against powdery mildew, sheath blight, and leaf spots.

  4. Enhances Nutrient Uptake:

    • Improves the plant’s ability to absorb key nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, and calcium.

    • Leads to better growth and healthier crop development.

  5. Improves Crop Quality and Yield:

    • Leads to shinier leaves, firmer fruits, and stronger stems.

    • Increases grain size, fruit firmness, and overall yield.

In Soil:

  • Improves soil structure and aeration

  • Enhances beneficial microbial activity

  • Helps in neutralizing toxic elements like aluminum in acidic soils
