Si-Bs – Silica Solubilizing Bacteria – 50 Ltr Drum
Bacillus spp. (Si-Bs) mobilises insoluble silica from soil minerals into plant-available silicic acid. Silicon is increasingly recognised as a quasi-essential nutrient — it strengthens cell walls, improves stem rigidity, builds stronger, more silicified stems and leaves that cope better with lodging and pest pressure, and improves photosynthetic efficiency in rice and wheat by 15–20%.
🌿 Recommended Crops: Rice (primary), Wheat, Sugarcane, Maize, Barley, Cucumber, Tomato

-
Drip / Flood Irrigation: 2–3 litres per acre in 200 L water
