Dia-Life Organic™ Silicon is the missing link in many fertility programs. This cell-strengthener also plays a role in photosynthesis and acts as a general tonic. Silicon can be a spectacular yield builder. Recently boron has been identified as a silica synergist so this formula contains boron at around 0.70%.

Dia-Life Organic™ is based on a micronised diatomaceous earth, which contains 90% (approx.) silica in amorphous form (i.e. unlike quartz crystal, there is no risk of associated health problems). Diatomaceous earth (DE) consists of the microscopic, fossilised, chelated remains of diatoms – single-celled aquatic plants. A large part of the plant response is based on silicon, but DE also contains a broad range of micronutrients.

BENEFITS

– Australian Certified Organic (ACO) Registered Farm Input 456AI.

– Micronisation creates plant-available silicon.

– Silicon increases yield and quality.

– Silicon increases flowering and fruit-set.

– Silicon is a key element for turf grasses, dairy pastures and other grass species like sugar cane.

– Boron is included as a silica synergist and for reproductive support.
