Silica agri
Silica (Agri Grade) is a naturally occurring mineral supplement used in agriculture to strengthen plant cell walls, enhance stress tolerance, and improve crop yields. Though not considered an essential nutrient, Silica plays a vital role in improving plant health by providing structural strength, reducing susceptibility to pests and diseases, and enhancing resistance to drought, salinity, and lodging. It also improves soil aeration and nutrient availability, making it a valuable input for both conventional and organic farming systems.

Key Features & Benefits
1)Enhances cell wall strength, reducing pest and disease attack.
2)Improves crop tolerance against drought, salinity, and heat stress.
3)Minimizes lodging in cereals like rice and wheat by strengthening stalks.
4)Increases chlorophyll content and photosynthesis efficiency.
5)Enhances uptake of phosphorus and other nutrients.
6)Improves post-harvest quality – better shelf life and stronger produce.
7)Eco-friendly, residue-free, and compatible with organic farming.
