Silicon (Si) is an essential element that helps plants in developing biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Our PROGRESS-Si is a combinatorial product containing amorphous silica, silica solubilizing bacteria along with other growth-promoting bacteria that enhances soil phosphorus, zinc, and potassium availability, increases photosynthetic activity, decreases transpiration rate and as well alleviates the aluminum and manganese toxicity, etc. ultimately promotes the plant growth and yield.
Benefits:
It helps the crop to get sufficient silica which gives structural support and increases its rigidity.
Helps the plant withstand various biotic and abiotic stresses such as wind, temperature, insects, and pests.
It acts as a natural defense mechanism against diseases and pests.
It enhances soil phosphorus, zinc, and potassium availability.
Increases photosynthetic activity decreases transpiration rate as well as alleviates the aluminium and manganese toxicity.
Recommended Crops: All crops
Composition: Silica, silica solubilizing bacteria, and other growth-promoting bacteria, with CFU not less than 2X108
Dosage & Method of Application: 5 Kg per acre as basal application during the last ploughing or within 30 days after planting
Mode of Action: The growth-promoting bacteria in Progress-Si provide plant-absorbable nitrogen from the atmosphere, converting unavailable forms of phosphorus, zinc, and potassium into plant-available forms. Produces plant growth-promoting hormones such as auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins. , improve plant vigor and yield potential.
Compatibility: It is not compatible with chemical pesticides
Package size: 5 Kg
Shelf life: 12 months from the date of manufacturing
