Sil-K®

Sil K

Benefits of Use:

  • Increases the strength and rigidity of the plant cells
  • Reduces the tendency of turf to wilt during the initial stages of drought 
  • Indirectly increases resistance to environmental stresses

When to Apply: 

  • During times of drought or heat stress
  • In high traffic-wear areas
  • When stronger leaf blades are needed for heat or wear tolerance
  • When inadequate potassium/silica levels are found during tissue or soil analysis 

FAQs

The Solution for Improved Potassium and Silica Nutrition 

Huma® Sil-K® complexed with Micro Carbon Technology® provides the potassium and silica essential for stronger leaf blades for heat and wear tolerance. Silica provides important strength to plant cell walls, helping grass stalks to stay upright, and is beneficial in stimulating natural plant defenses against fungal pathogens. Potassium is essential to many plant functions–including regulating water pressure, transporting chemical compounds, balancing electrical charges, synthesizing proteins, adjusting pH within cells, and activating enzymes that help chemical reactions take place. Turf with adequate potassium is better able to withstand stress, insect damage, and many plant diseases.
