- One time application as basal is enough
- SiO2 creates a Silicon barrier between outer tissue and inner cell
- Increases resistance to diseases and insects
- Makes leaves thicker which enhances photosynthesis and metabolism to produce higher quality and yield
- Prevents lodging
- Controls absorption of N to avoid over growth
- Improves tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought, frost, or salty condition
- Improves acidic and/or heavy metal-contaminated soil
- Protects paddy rice from blast (Magnaporthe grisea)
