When it comes to plant nutrition Silicon is often referred to as the forgotten element. In fact Silicon plays a vital role within plant structure improving plant growth, strength and health.

When silicon enters the plant it accumulates around the epidermis of roots and shoots where it forms a silicon gel that, in combination with calcium and pectins help to strengthen and stabilise cell walls. The silica moves between cell walls and is also laid down in the epidermal cells. Silica is deposited in the endodermis of roots. The presence of silica in the plant decreases evapo-transpiration thus improving tolerance to heat and drought. Tests have shown that plants deposit silicon at the site of fungus infections to combat penetration of cell walls by fungal spores. Silicon maximizes plants’ natural production of phytoalexin compounds which resist invasion by pathogens.
