The role of silicone in fertilizer is very simple, that is, it can enhance the efficiency and promote the rapid absorption of nutrients by crops, because silicone has good ductility and can penetrate crop cells and has good permeability. Fertilizer experts also add it to fertilizers based on this principle to drive the absorption and utilization of nutrients by plants. Application of silicone in fertilizer
1. Wetting the leaves. There is a feature of spraying crops on leaves every day that everyone must have noticed. That is, the fertilizer with water stays on the surface of plant leaves for a short time and will slide down quickly with gravity. The silicone solution can moisten the leaves. In this way, the use of liquid fertilizer makes the fertilizer liquid evenly distributed on the leaves, and it will not slide down directly as just said.
2. Drive nutrient absorption. Another feature of silicone is that it is resistant to rain erosion and has good permeability. Adding it to diluted fertilizer can drive nutrients to pass through the cells of plant leaves and be quickly absorbed. This is efficient for fertilization in rainy seasons and places and does not need to be affected by light rain.
3. Save fertilizer expenses. A large amount of fertilizer is used on crops every year, which is one of the main costs of agriculture. If silicone, a synergistic substance, is added during foliar fertilization, the fertilizer utilization rate can be greatly improved and the waste caused by direct use can be reduced.
