DefenSivo
Expected to be available from mid-June 💚
How does silicon become available to plants?
It has been proven that silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element on Earth, yet it is NOT available to plants.
What is the solution?
Silicon ortho-tannic acid to make it available/utilisable to the plant!
Let’s take a closer look at exactly which ingredients ensure this easily absorbed form:
Contains silicon (in the form of orthocobaltic acid: 30 g/l). Iron (Fe), complexed with heptagluconate, water-soluble 1.21% m/m, Molybdenum (Mo), in the form of a sodium salt, water-soluble 0.0351% m/m, Zinc (Zn), in the form of oxide, water-soluble 1.01% w/w. Category 1: Primary substances and mixtures. Orthosilicic acid (CAS: 10193-36-9); zinc oxide (CAS 1314-13-2); iron sulphate (CAS: 7720-78-7); sodium molybdate (CAS: 10102-40-6).
How does it work?
💚 DefenSivo The composition of Tépelem helps ensure that plants receive an adequate supply of micronutrients. Its use can help reduce micronutrient deficiencies. The high iron content plays a role in the plant’s optimal development. Zinc, as an essential nutrient, promotes the absorption of other nutrients and prevents the development of visible symptoms of zinc deficiency. Molybdenum is an essential microelement for the ideal development of plants.
Why should I choose this product?
- It increases resistance to various abiotic stress factors, such as high and low temperatures, drought and wind.
- It contains water-soluble orthosilicic acid, which is why most of it (~90%) is taken up by the plant and incorporated into the cell wall
- The silicon crystals that become incorporated into the cell wall give the plant extra strength, making it resistant to physical impact
- It strengthens the skin tissue, which means it can help prevent cracked heels
- Can be applied independently
- Compatibility: can be mixed with most pesticides and fertilisers; due to its pH-lowering effect, it increases the efficiency of application.
In which mechanisms of action does it play a role?
- Metabolic effect
- Cell wall reinforcement
- Improving stress resilience
- Osmotic regulation
- Mechanical effect
- Ca, promoting the absorption of phosphorus and trace elements
How to apply?
For use in small domestic gardens: 10 ml per 10 litres of water. In a home garden, mix 10 ml, i.e. one ampoule, into 10 litres of spray solution. Rinse the ampoule several times to ensure that the active ingredients are transferred into the spray solution.
It is important to always add DefenSivo to the sprayer first. For foliar treatment, it is advisable to time the applications to coincide with periods of heightened physiological activity in the plant.
Storage and shelf life: When stored in its original, unopened packaging in a dry place at a temperature of 5–25 °C, away from direct sunlight, it will retain its quality for 2 years.
Dispensing: 10 ml ampoule
This is an environmentally friendly product, so it is safe to use in organic farming.
