1. Features and Effects

Silicate Fertilizer(Granule) is alkaline fertilizer as well as soil ameliorater that contains plentiful silicic acid, magnesium, and lime in the form of sand, powder, and granule.

Resistance to disease, pest and lodging increases due to silicic acid’ strengthening the plant tissues of paddy rice which as result is effective for preventing blast disease and root rot.

Increase the quality of crops due to amelioration on acid soil, improvement of soil fertility and lime supplementation to the soil as this product contains over 45% of alkaline.

Rice absorbs silicic acid 8 times more than nitrogen during the growing period.

Lime enables healthy crop growth by improving the soil condition and promoting activities of microorganisms for fruit trees and horticulture.

2. Composition ratio(%)

Sand(Powdery)

-Silicic acid: 28-30

-Magnesium: 2-5

-Alkaline: 45-50

-Micronutrient: Little amount (iron)

-Usage: Soil improvement

Granule

-Silicic acid: 25-28

-Magnesium: 2-3

-Alkaline: 40-45

-Micronutrient: Little amount (iron)

-Usage: Soil improvement

3. Usage (kg/1000m2)

Paddy rice: 200-300 kg (increase or decrease the application according to the condition of the soil)

Fruit tree, horticulture: 50-150kg (increase or decrease the application according to tree age)

Grass: 200-300kg

4. How to apply

-Crops (Fruit tree, Horticulture) which need a lot of lime, silicic acid, and magnesium.

-Acid soil, rice paddy with silicic acid deficiency (less than 130ppm), land with the shortage of lime or magnesium, volcanic area.

-When preventing lodging and blast disease by dissolving silicic acid on paddy rice.

-When preventing disease and pest, or resistant measure for stamping for golf course grass.

-Quality improvement for commercial crops.

5. Precaution

Adjust the application based on soil condition and growth condition of crops.

When mixed with immature compost or organic fertilizer in the greenhouse, gas damage is expected. Use 7-10 days before seeding or plating

Store in dry place and make sure to tie the remaining.
