Application of silicone powder or granules results in significant inhibition of pathogenic fungi and sap-sucking insects.
It helps increase the food storage in the crop by increasing the photosynthesis activity. Spraying on the crop gives it blackness and shine.
The evaporation of water through the stomata is greatly reduced, thus avoiding water waste. The use of silicon powder or granules results in large amounts of phosphorus and potassium.
The post-harvest storage period for fruits and vegetables can be extended. Damage caused by fruit rot can be reduced to a large extent. Root borer arrests the disease to a great extent.
