Silpot is a super supplement with ready to absorb Biogenic Silica. It creates a wall of Biogenic Silica (bSi) to fortify plants from the inside out.

1. Strengthens Plant Structure

Silpot supplies highly bioavailable silica that gets deposited in the epidermal layers of leaves and stems.

This:

• Improves stem rigidity
• Enhances leaf erectness
• Reduces lodging
• Supports better nutrient translocation

2. Boosts Natural Defense Mechanisms

The biogenic silica matrix acts like a physical and biochemical shield. It:

• Triggers the plant’s innate defense responses
• Increases production of phytoalexins and defensive enzymes
• Makes the plant tissue tougher and less palatable to insects
• Reduces the chances of diseases entering plant tissues

3. Protection Against Pests & Diseases

The silica layer acts as a barrier against sucking pests, chewing insects, fungal infections, and bacterial attacks by:

• Hardening plant surfaces
• Preventing easy penetration by pathogens
• Reducing the spread of disease

4. Enhances Growth & Productivity

Regular application of Silpot:

• Stimulates healthy root and shoot development
• Improves photosynthetic efficiency
• Helps plants maintain vigor even under adverse conditions
• Leads to better flowering, fruiting, and ultimately higher yield

5. Helps Plants Tolerate Abiotic Stress

Silpot significantly improves tolerance against environmental stresses such as:

• Dry spells / drought: Retains moisture in plant cells, reduces transpiration
• Heat wave / cold wave: Stabilizes cellular functions during temperature fluctuations
• Low sunlight / cloudy days: Increases chlorophyll stability, keeps growth active
• Soil salinity & pH stress: Improves ionic balance

6. Suitable for All Crops and All Stages

Because silica plays a universal protective and strengthening role, Silpot can be applied  in all phases:

• Nursery stage
• Vegetative stage
• Flowering stage
• Fruiting stage
• Maturity stage

Continuous use builds cumulative silica deposits, giving long-lasting protection and growth enhancement.

Mode of Action

Silica is deposited in the outermost layer of the tissue (epidermis) making a rigid barrier called Phytoliths. Most Si is cross linked with hemicellulose in cell walls to increase the elasticity. This mechanical strength & elasticity keeps the plant erect for enhanced photosynthesis; helps it hold the fruit load more comfortably. This provides a strong defense during biotic stress [pests & pathogens]. The attacking pests tries to eat the tissue [biting], suck the fluid [piercing], or burrow inside [boring]. The strong & rigid silica wall blocks it and also damages the teeth/stings of the infesting pests. Naturally, this reduces the food intake, growth longevity, and population growth of pests. The Silica Wall also blocks the fungi from reaching the tissues making them less susceptible to enzymatic degradation caused by pathogens. Apart from that further accumulation of Silica is found in the fungus sites increasing the resistance to pathogen invasion. It has been widely reported that Si is able to suppress abiotic physical stress, such as drought, high/low temperatures, typhoons, inadequate sunshine, UV etc. The strong cell wall are better at managing water balance inside the cells. Under physical stress the cells are able to maintain their structure for a longer duration and plants does not droop easily maintaining the structural integrity for a longer duration.

Composition

*Orthosilicic Acid as Si(OH)4 : 18%

K2O : 8%

Herbal Aqueous Media : Q.S.

pH : 10.5 to 11.5

*Thermodynamically Activated Biogenic Silica.

Dose: 2ml/ Lit.

Recommendations: Mix with water (2ml/ltr) and apply as foliar spray or through drip irrigation. Can be safely repeated every 7-15 days depending on the crop type. Recommended tank mixed with compatible oils like Neem/Karanj oil.

SilPot can be used alongside fungicides/pesticides after testing tank compatibility. Mix 2ml Silpot with 1 ltr water. Introduce suggested dose of fungicides/pesticides and mix well. If no precipitation occurs, it is compatible and good to be used together.

Compatibility of Silpot with Chemicals

Many farmers have used Silpot with some other chemicals including but not limited to fungicide, insecticide, pesticides etc. and have observed some excellent outcome. We had not been able to verify every claim, but by and large if more than ten people from different areas report, we take that as a genuine observation. This list is compilation of such observations and feedback. However, we shall advice you to do a tank mix and test in small areas before larger application.
