Overview of Potassium Silicate

Potassium Silicate is a clear liquid fertilizer that feeds plants potassium and silica to make stems strong and leaves tough against bugs and dry weather. It's a simple mix from silica sand and potash, with potassium silicate formula K2SiO3, easy to buy from potassium silicate manufacturers in India. Farmers spray it on rice and sugarcane to fight blasts and borers while boosting water hold.​

Applications of Potassium Silicate

Rice Blast Shield:

Foliar spray at tillering stage builds silica walls in leaves to block sheath blight and stem rot, cutting losses in wet fields—pairs well with Potassium Sulphate for double nutrient kick, especially when rains hit hard and fungi spread fast, helping stalks stand tall without lodging, perfect for paddy belts where wind snaps weak plants.

Sugarcane Borer Defense:

Soil drench or leaf coat toughens rind against top borer attacks, saving juice yield in ratoon crops—mixes smooth with Butaphosphan for root push, key in heavy clay where borers drill deep during monsoons, keeps canes fat and factories humming without early chop.

Tomato and Brinjal Boost:

Drip feed raises fruit firmness and shelf life while dodging powdery mildew, a go-to for greenhouse rows—works hand-in-hand with Pyrethrum sprays, dodging salt burn in hydro setups and pumping sugar levels for sweeter picks that ship clean without bruises.

Hydroponic Greens Armor:

Add to tanks for cucumber and lettuce to lock out aphids and mites through erect cell walls, steady silica flow without clogging lines, ramps shelf life and cuts packhouse waste in salad ops.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Store Potassium Silicate cool in sealed drums to stop it getting too thick from air.

• Gloves and goggles when pouring—alkaline sting on skin or eyes but rinse quick with water.

• Wipe spills with wet rag; no fire worry or bad smells on farms.

• Safe for plants and soil; just don't dump loads near fish ponds.​
