Siliforce: The Natural Assurance for Your Crops
Improves bioavailability of nutrients based on plant needs
Strengthens plants with better cell structure and
improves interaction between cell walls and
water
Triggers defense reactions with
biochemical/metabolic defense responses
Siliforce: Nutrition Manager and Anti-Stress Enhancer
Problems General
• Amount of rainfall
• Quality of the soil..Salinity stress
• Insect and fungus damage
• Need to improve quality
• Storage
• Bioavailable Silicon deficiency
• Environmental footprint
• Residue of PPP
Problems to be solved: Cereals/Industrials
Why SILIFORCE® is the best solution for Cereals/Industrials
Siliforce Solutions in Cereals/Industrials
• Silicon reinforcement, increased strength
• Increase (a)biotic stress resistance (stem borers, sucking insects, fungal infections, drought, harmful radiation)
• Detox of heavy metals
• Improves uptake, absorption and utilization of nutrients
