Silicon is known for its ability to pump up cell wall strength, making plants more hardy and resilient. Mono and polysilicic acids perform the function of launching the immune mechanism, that is, they permit the synthesis of stress enzymes on the cell surface without energy costs, even before the presence of stress as such. This mechanism for the production of stress enzymes affects not only the stress resistance of plants, especially drought resistance and high temperatures, but also ensures the biochemical mobility of the main macronutrients – nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
The product is specially designed for root and foliar treatment of cereals and fodder crops at risk of lodging, but is also suitable for fruit bushes and trees under unfavourable weather conditions and when attacked by pests.
It should be remembered that an excess of minerals in the soil diminishes the overall fertile layer. SatoHum® SiO, thanks to its high content of humic and fulvic acids, in combination with silicon, contributes to maintaining fertility, improving granulosity and microbiological composition of the soil.
