FRONT ROW SI

Silicon Solution

WHAT IS IT?

Front Row Si is a concentrated form of liquid silica containing 10% monosilicic acid, the only form of Plant Available Silica (PAS). It uses a new sugar alcohol (polyol) stabilizing technology that contains no polyethylene glycol (PEG) and allows for higher solubility while reducing risk of precipitation.

WHY USE IT?

Silica contributes to several desirable outcomes in plants.

• Increased yield and quality

• Enhanced pest and pathogen resistance

• Improved resistance to abiotic stress (drought, light, temperature, salinity)

• Protection against heavy metal toxicity

HOW DOES IT WORK?

These beneficial outcomes are mediated through a number of pathways.

• Mechanical effects: As it’s incorporated into plant tissues it increases the weight and strength of cell walls, creating a physical barrier to insects and fungal pathogens. The increased strength also leads to improved plant posture and resistance to drought, temperature, and wind.

• Nutrient absorption: Silica improves the uptake of beneficial elements and interferes with the absorption of harmful ones such as heavy metals.

• Water balance: By modulating the leaf transpiration rate and enhancing root water uptake, silica alleviates drought stress.

• Regulation of plant hormones and genetic expression under abiotic stress conditions.

• Enhanced activation of plant immune and antioxidant systems.
