Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt 0-0-3 formula is an easy-to-use liquid concentrate that provides supplemental potassium 3.7% and silicon 7.8%. The latest research proves that plants benefit in many important ways from supplemental soluble silicon. These benefits include greater tolerance of environmental stresses such as cold, heat, drought, salinity, mineral toxicity or deficiency, improved growth rates, accelerated root development on cuttings and improved resistance to insects and fungi. Soluble silicon promotes natural fungal defense mechanisms in plants, significantly reducing, and in many cases eliminating entirely, the need to use fungicides. Silicon deposited in epidermal cell walls enhances plants' resistance to small sucking insects. The resulting increased mechanical strength in epidermal cell walls enhances leaf presentation to light and improved stem strength. Soluble silicon enhances metabolic functions and plant growth rates by balancing nutrient uptake, distribution and transport and increasing chlorophyll concentration in leaves resulting in improved pollen fertility, fruit and flower count. |
