Product Introduction

Liquid potassium silicate provides crops such as rice with effective disease resistance, particularly offering significant protection against powdery mildew and rice blast. Once potassium silicate enters the plant, it is converted into silicic acid, which deposits in the cell walls, enhancing their thickness and structure. This process effectively reduces the chances of pathogen invasion, boosts plant immunity, and strengthens crop resilience.

As silicic acid accumulates, the plant gradually forms a silicon layer, acting as a physical barrier. This barrier not only prevents the intrusion of pathogens and pests but also reduces water evaporation, enhancing drought resistance and lodging tolerance. From the application of potassium silicate to the formation of the silicon layer, the entire process significantly improves disease resistance and stress tolerance, ensuring both yield and quality protection for crops.

After 10 days, symptoms of rice blast appeared on the leaves. (B) Silicon-treated plants form a silicon layer in the cell walls, which strengthens resistance against fungal infections through physical barriers.

Product Features

Strengthens Cell Structure and Enhances Resistance to Disease and Lodging

Potassium silicate helps thicken plant cell walls, enhancing rice resistance against powdery mildew and rice blast, reducing the occurrence of diseases, and minimizing pathogen damage. Additionally, it effectively supports rice lodging resistance, improving overall plant health and stress tolerance.

Promotes Healthy Crop Growth and Improves Stress Resistance

Potassium silicate promotes root development, enabling plants to absorb more nutrients, which in turn enhances rice yield and quality. It also improves the survival rate of rice under adverse conditions, mitigating the impact of extreme weather on crops.
