Missing Mineral
A major mineral is missing in many soils and most soil tests do not even monitor its presence.
This mineral can increase stress resistance, boost photosynthesis and chlorophyll content, improve drought resistance,
salt tolerance, soil fertility and prevent lodging.
It can also reduce insect pressure, frost damage and destructive diseases while lowering irrigation rates, neutralizing
heavy metal toxicity and countering the negative effect of excess sodium.
It increases root growth, boosts yield, increases brix (sugar levels), enhances crop quality, plant does not shut down
in heat and so allows crop to be harvested earlier. Builds stronger plants.
The neglected mineral is Silicon. It is the second most abundant mineral on the planet so how can there be a shortage? The answer is in the form the silicon must be in. In order to be taken up by the plant it must be plant available silica.
Plants uptake silicon in the form of monosilicic acid and a healthy soil should contain 100ppm of monosilicic acid and very few soils have that much.
We have a mining permit on the West Coast, where after extensive testing we have identified a large resource of this
mineral. We have BioGro certification and are MPI registered as a fertilizer and a plant protection.
Plants respond to plant available silica and so do humans. If there is a shortage of silica in the food we grow there
will be a shortage in people. Our product is food safe and is completely safe for humans and animals. It also contains
all the macro and micro elements essential for plant growth.
The human body contains 1gm silica per 10kg of body weight which is more than all the other trace elements put together.
High levels of this mineral are deposited in bones, nails, tendons and the walls of the aorta. Substantial amounts are
found in the kidneys, liver and lungs.
We are now aware of climate change and food plants will have to be much stronger to resist wind, sun and frost. Monosilicic acid has been described as the mortar between the building bricks in plants. It will be essential in the battle to produce
essential food crops.
