anvert Silikon is a biostimulant
based on silicon and authorised
in organic farming. It activates
complex physiological process
es in plants that improve their resistance
to stress.
With Nanovert Tech® technology nano
particles are obtained – achieving a higher
concentration of silicon in the solution,
greater coverage of the leaves and penetra
tion in them, improving the effectiveness of
the product.
Action mode
The foliar application of silicon nanoparti
cles covers the whole plant in its entirety,
effectively penetrating the inside of the
plant and positioning itself inside the tis
sues. The presence of silicon in the plant
improves its performance and strength,
having a positive effect on its nutrition and
resistance to stress.
Its penetration through the cuticle trans
ports water to the interior of plant tissues,
giving flexibility and turgor in those tissues
in which it is absorbed.
Manvert Silikon favours the development
of the self-defence plant system against
stress. At the same time it enhances soil
fertility by improving the availability of wa
ter, physical and chemical soil properties
and keeping nutrients in available forms.
It protects plants against pathogen micro
organisms’ attacks, as the silicon accumu
lation in the epidermal tissue in polymeric,
organic and crystalline form allows it to
protect and strengthen the plant tissues
mechanically and biochemically.
This silicon enhances the development of
the plant root system and consequently
improves its adaptability to the environ
ment, protecting it against stress periods
and enhancing its development and growth.
It promotes root colonisation by algae,
lichens, bacteria and mycorrhizal, improv
ing nitrogen and phosphorous fixation and
assimilation. It also increases plant-salinity
resistance and plant-draught resistance.
Fertilisation with silicon can optimise the
water irrigation between 30% to 40% and
increases irrigation periods without any
negative effect on the crop. In addition to
the irrigation-drainage system, fertilisation
with silicon-active minerals also helps to
restore the soils affected by salts, compac
tion and a low pH.
