Silica unlike other essential elements in plants has a function that is mechanical rather than physiological. This characteristic of Silica function explains- why Silica effects are easily observed in plants that accumulate Silica to a certain extent and why Silica effects are more obvious under biotic or abiotic stress.
Silicates make plant cell walls thicker and stronger while increasing the size of the vascular system of the plant.
Thicker cell wall makes plant stronger in all aspects. Enlarged vascular system aids in better nutrient uptake resulting in a bigger, healthier, higher yielding plant.
Table summarising the Macronutrient and Silica requirements of crops
| Crop | Combined NPK requirement (Kg / Ha) | Silica requirement(Kg / Ha) | Nitrogen requirement | Phosphorus requirement | Potassium requirement |
| Rice | 123 | 230-470 | 34 | 22 | 67 |
| Sugarcane | 309 | 500-700 | 90 | 17 | 202 |
| Cereals | 123 | 100-300 | 34 | 22 | 67 |
It can be inferred from the table above that the requirement of Silica for the plant is more than the combined requirement of the macronutrients viz Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium
Nano Iron contains Nano particles of Iron which measure less than 100 nano metre. It has 10,000 ppm (1 %) of Nano Iron particles.
Bio available Silica makes plant cell walls thicker and stronger while increasing the size of the vascular system of the plant. Thicker cell wall makes plant stronger in all aspects. Enlarged vascular system aids in the plant taking up more nutrients resulting in a bigger, healthier, higher yielding plant. Nano silica also imparts drought tolerance and promote robust plant growth.
Nano Silica is available as a soluble liquid formulation
The following table gives details on Application methods and doses for the different formulations
| Soluble liquid | |
| Potency | 10,000 ppm (<100 nano metre) |
| Foliar application | Dose: 2 ml / L 1 Acre dose: 400 ml 1 Ha dose: 1 L |
| Foliar application for Long duration crops / Orchards / Perennials | Dose: 2 ml / L 1 Acre dose: 400 ml 1 Ha dose: 1 L Apply 2 times in 1 Year. Before onset of monsoon and after monsoon. |
Foliar application: Mix Nano Silica at recommended doses in sufficient water and spray on foliage. Apply twice a year for long duration crops. It is recommended to have first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall/ spring season and second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn/ fall season.
Note: Do not store Nano Silica solution for more than 24 hours after mixing in water.
Compatible with biofertilizers, organic fertilizers, organic manures, biopesticides, vermicompost, sea kelp (seaweed fertilizer), protein hydrolysates, organic carbon and rock phosphate.
Store in ambient temperature, not more than 45 degrees Celsius. Preferably store between 4 – 10-degree Celsius. Keep container closed after use. Store in a dry place.
2 Years from the date of manufacturing.
Can I apply NanoCal during day time or a hot day?
Yes. You can apply anytime.
