Silica Earth Silica + Beneficial Microbes
Living Soils rely on microorganisms!
This network of microscopic allies permeate native soils and are the foundation for all important nutrient cycling and mineral solubility.
Silica + Beneficial Microbes
Silica Earth is now formulated with a proprietary blend of four distinct species of bacillus bacteria and two types of mycorrhizae. This powerful combination of minerals, microbes and micronutrients is the winning foundation for any growers success.
This powerhouse blend helps increase plant growth, improve cellular strength and protect against heat stress, drought, pests and disease. Their major role is to enhance nutrient and water uptake through the symbiotic relationship of plant roots within the rhizosphere.
How It Works
Silica Earth Volcanic Silica Minerals + Microbes works great as a dry mineral additive for soil, coco, rockwool substrate applications, AND for mixing with liquid nutrients, compost tea and foliar. (*safe to use on or near plant roots.) Use according to manufacturer's recommendations.
Why Microbes?
Beneficial microorganisms are naturally occurring bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that play a crucial role in plant productivity and health. Two types of beneficial microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are considered beneficial to plant health.
Silica Earth: The Missing Element
1. Silica Earth™ is micronized down to 2-4 microns.
2. Silica Earth™ includes soluble form of silica (monosilicic acid), Calcium, Magnesium, trace elements and micronutrients necessary for robust plant growth.
3. Silica Earth™ is derived from hydrothermal volcanic deposits, naturally formed over a millennia!
4. Most silicate products available today, are derived from potassium silicates. These products are extremely alkaline (pH 11-12) and require additional chemical adjusting.
5. Liquid potassium silicates are mostly water! Silica Earth is a dry powdered mineral- Ideal for soil AND liquid applications.
7. Our company is the first to incorporate mineral solubilizing microbes that help break down the silicate minerals for rapid plant utilization.
8. Developed by Growers for Growers. Described as a 'game-changer' at our farm for solving all kinds of issues including damage from pests and disease.
