Fos-Sil stimulates the plant’s natural immune response by activating the Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) pathway, which upregulates key defense genes and stress-responsive mechanisms. This enhanced immunity helps crops withstand both biotic stresses (like diseases and pests) and abiotic stresses (such as drought and extreme temperatures), resulting in more resilient, productive plants—even under challenging conditions.

Monosilicic acid is the only form of silicon that is bioavailable and readily absorbed by plants. Once absorbed by the plant, it is deposited as silica in the cell walls, strengthening their structure and forming a physical barrier. This enhanced cell wall integrity makes plants more resistant to physical damage caused by wind, heavy rainfall, and pest feeding. Stronger plants are less prone to lodging and other forms of mechanical stress, resulting in healthier, more stable crops.

The inclusion of salicylic acid in the Fos-Sil formulation uniquely enhances its ability to activate the plant’s natural defense mechanisms, specifically the Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) pathway. While calcium and potassium silicates primarily focus on strengthening cell walls, Fos-Sil not only boosts cell wall integrity but also improves nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and overall plant health – offering a more comprehensive range of benefits.

Salicylic acid is well-supported by extensive research for its ability to strengthen plant resilience under stress. It helps crops better tolerate drought, salinity, and temperature extremes by enhancing the plant’s physiological stress-response mechanisms. Fos-Sil also improves water use eciency, allowing plants to maintain function and growth even under low-moisture conditions. Fos-Sil is a valuable tool for maintaining crop health and yield during periods of environmental stress.
