Organic Silicon Fertilizer in India

Active silicon is an amorphous Silica which is a based soil enricher, conditioner that supplies available silica to plants. Owing to its rich industrial experience, Seema Minerals & Metals offers you high-quality Active Silica that helps in improving the nutrient efficiency of fertilizers by absorbing nutrients and slowly releasing them when required. It also increases water retention and provides improved aeration in the soil. Seema Minerals & Metals is one of the most trusted Organic Silicon Fertilizer in India and Silicon fertilizer in India and Diatomaceous Earth in India.

Active Silicon boosts plants ability to withstand stresses from disease, insects and environmental pressure. Although Silicon is an abundant element it is mostly locked up in crystalline form and plant available Silica is only available from amorphous Silica. Active silica reacts fast when compared to crystalline silica and thus is effective. Collectively these benefits of Active silicon fertilizer increase the yield and quality of crops and plants.

Benefits of using active Silicon

It increases plant growth, flowering and fruiting.
It increases crop yield and quality of crop.
It is rich source of Plant available Silicon.
It has high water holding capacity.
It Neutralize Aluminum toxicity.
It unlocks Phosphate and makes it available to plant.
It reduces use of conventional Fertilizers from 25-40 %.
It protects plants against insect, pests and fungal infection.
There is reduction in irrigation and gives drought resistance to plant.
It increases plants resistance to salt intoxication.
It increases soil porosity.
It gives strength to roots and stem of plant.
It dramatically increases the cation exchange capacity, stimulating the absorption of nutrients.
Will increase carbon sequestration.
The results are visible within 15-20 days initially in the form of colour of the leaves which will be darker and growth will be faster as compared to normal crops without Active Silicon.

Application

It can be added in soil before planting, at the time of sowing it can be applied with seed.
For Sugarcane, Rice, Cassava, vegetables and other crops it can be mixed in soil during preparation of Soil.
Silver Impregnated Activated carbon granules filled in hollow part of candles to avoid biofouling of carbon and to adsorb any smell in water. (Plain candles are not filled with carbon.)
For Rubber, Tea Coffee and other fruit and flower plantation a small part of it can be applied near roots while sowing and in old plants by digging and applying near roots.

Cost Advantage

Using Active Silicon will reduce consumption of Fertilizers (N,P,K) by its optimization in soil by approx 25-40 %.
Yield will be more per hectare (Min 25-40 %)
Vegetables will be more green and yield will be more.
Fruits size and number will be more.
Flowering will be more in floriculture plants and flowers will be bigger in size.
Sugarcane stem will be thicker and taller in height
No. of Rice grains per plant will be more.
In cassava roots will be thicker and juicy.
Frequency of giving water will be reduced hence reducing cost.

Brief reasons about the benefits of Active Silicon

Increased root development

Enriched with micro-nutrients, Increases Growth and Yield, Rich source of plant available Silicon (PAS), High Cationic Exchange Capacity, Structural strength in plants for reduced lodging and pest attack, Improved photosynthetic activity, Reduced drought and heat stress, Alleviation of salt stress, and Improved plant defense.

Active Silicon Benefits to Soil

Active Silicon increases the buffering capacity and adsorption properties of soil and also helps to reduce plant iron and aluminum toxicity, something which is especially important for acidic soils. Active Silicon also contains enough potassium to meet all plant nutrition requirements. It also helps retain water molecules and positively effects soil phosphate levels by mobilizing hard-phosphates, especially in sod-podzolic soils.

Neutralization of aluminum toxicity of acidic soils

The active silicon content of Active Silicon soil amendment strongly binds with movable aluminum to form aluminum silicates. Silicon ameliorants are more efficient than liming materials.

Protection of plants against insect pests and fungal infections without adverse environmental impact

Active Silicon helps to activate plant DNA for the synthesis of specific and nonspecific enzymes and proteins to protect against any stress (diseases, fungal diseases, insect attacks, viral diseases, drought, heat, salt or aluminum intoxication, short-term freezing, etc).
