Calcium Silicate
Classified under
Calcium silicate can be very useful, especially when plants are under abiotic or biotic stress. Silicon may enhance soil fertility, improve disease and pest resistance, increase photosynthesis, improve plant architecture, regulate evapotranspiration, increase tolerance to toxic elements such as Fe and Mn. Soils found in warm to hot, humid areas, are subject to intense silicon leaching and tend to be highly desilicified, acidic, low in. essential nutrient elements, and on account of their acidity, high in soluble aluminum. Supplmenting soils of such with calcium silicate is an essential to promote plants mechanical and physiological growth and well-being.
