Orthosilicic Acid - Water Soluble Silicon Nutrient, Enhances Plant Growth And Resilience To Stress

We are making and supplying of Orthosilicic Acids in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Silicon has been accepted worldwide as an important beneficial element required for the proper functioning of the plants particularly in cultivating crops.

Plants can absorb silicon only in the form of Orthosilicic acid (OSA). OSA is water soluble and is the only biologically active form of silica. OSA is taken up by the plants in very low concentrations but that concentrations have very important effect on plant growth.

Functions of OSA

OSA is absorbed by the plants, benefiting the plant in terms of growth and resistance to disease and environmental stresses. OSA also has a significant effect on soil texture, water holding capacity, adsorption capacity, and soil erosion stability.

OSA has many beneficial roles in crop performance and life. Few of them are listed below:

- One of the main functions of OSA is improving the plants growth and yield, especially in stress conditions. To achieve plant tolerance in stress conditions, Silicon promotes photosynthesis by favourably exposing the leaves to light without dehydration.

- OSA regulates the uptake of other minerals in plants.

- OSA increases resistance to salinity and metal toxicity.
