Strensil is a silicate based biostimulant glucosamine improving the mechanical strength of the vascular and epidermal cells of stems, leaves and fruits, strengthening its integrity, consistency and structural rigidity, allowing to have stronger and more compact plants, with more force, better bearing and stability.
Foliar applied, silica is deposited between the cuticle and the endoderm in polymer and colloidal form, as well as stomata, which keeps available water and minerals, reduces the rate of perspiration and thus have more turgid the leaf tissue. Silicified tissue better use light as they are able to disperse and more effectively eliminate harmful ultraviolet rays.
Furthermore, the silicate increases production of glucosamine compounds of secondary metabolism, such as polyphenols and certain enzymes essential for optimal yield and quality of harvest.
Dosage: root application on fruits and vegetable shows improved fruit or vegetable behavior.
However, foliar applications showed better results than root application for cereals, pulses and legumes.
