Silicon Dioxide powder

Description

Silica is an important raw material for the manufacture of optical fibers.Silicon dioxide is used to make flat glass, glass products, cast sand, glass fiber, ceramic glaze, sand blasting for antirust, filter sand, flux, refractory and lightweight concrete. Silicon dioxide is widely used in many industrial products. Rare crystals in nature can be used to create important parts of the electronics industry, optical instruments and crafts.

It supplies  silicon to the crop which in turn reduces transpiration, salinity stress and water stress. It retards excessive vegetative growth and converts it into reproductive growth of the plant. When drenched in soil, Silicon Dioxide effectively deters the entry of mycopathogens into the root system hence can be used as a preventive and curative measure against phytopthora, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium etc.

It strengthens the cell wall, helps in shoot development and imparts resistance to the plant against pests and diseases. It can be used to control phytopthora in orange and pomegranate.
