Certis Biologicals AgSil 16H

Improve Crop Health for Increased Strength, Growth and Yield

AgSil 16H is a soluble form of Potassium Silicate providing plants with a 100% available source of silicon and potassium that are essential for optimum plant growth and health. Potassium Silicate strengthens your plants internal processes and external defenses. Boost the health of row crops, vine crops, turf & ornamentals, greenhouse, and hydroponically grown plants with a potassium silicate bio-nutrient supplement.

AgSil 16H low salt index makes it extremely safe for all crops. Applied in the soil or as a foliar aids the plant during periods of drought, extreme temperatures, cold, frost, heat stress, salinity and mineral toxicity and other abiotic stresses.  By activating the plant's immune system it help it to resist against foliar and soil diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses and other biotic stresses.

• Provides resistance to mineral stress
• Decreases climate stress
• Improves strength
• Increases growth and yield

• Potassium (K2O): 32%
• Silica (SiO2): 52%

Derived from: Potassium Silicate

Agsil 16H is a simple and inexpensive alternative to water-based Silica products.  560 grams of Agsil in 1 gallon will give you 7.6% silicon (SiO2). Mix 148 grams AgSil 16H into 1 liter water or 560 grams per gallon to make a 7.8% solution. Use this 7.8% solution at 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon per gallon water. Store in bottle or jar and shake well before use.

To use as as foliar spray, soil drench or emulsifier add ½ teaspoon per gallon of water.

WARNING: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Never mix concentrated silica solutions with other concentrated fertilizers.  It is best practice to make up the liquid solution first or add water prior to mixing the powder with other ingredients or nutrients. When mixing, be sure to add water to the container first. Fill the container halfway with water and then add the Agsil before filling the rest of the way and then mixing thoroughly. 

The silica needs to be stored in a cool dry location. There is no real shelf life to speak of if kept dry or in liquid concentrate form. We suggest you make the liquid concentrate for storage because if the powder gets any moisture it can turn into a rock. Shake vigorously before using.

AgSil 16H is manufactured by PQ Corporation and distributed by Certis USA along with Sil-MATRIX, a broad-spectrum organic solution for the control of insects, diseases, and fungi.
