Product overview

Silicates are widely used as silicon fertilisers. Different granular, liquid and powdery formulations are developed for the use on hydroponics, mixing in potting soil and foliar fertilisation. Other well-known sources of silicon are: basic slag, cement, diatomaceous earth, rice chaff, rice hulls and water glass. Calcium silicate is widely used for liming. Silicon nutrition runs a continuous extending overview of silicon products.
