Eckosil Shield

ACTIVE INGREDIENT – Soluble Silicon/Ortho-silicic Acid

Eckosil Shield’s soluble ortho silicic acid formulation is specifically designed to reinforce plant cell walls, which creates stronger plants with greater tolerance towards heat and abiotic stress, and improved light absorption. This leads to greater crop quality and marketable yield.

MODE OF ACTION

Rapidly absorbed into treated tissue, this soluble ortho silicic acid formulation provides inside-out solar protection, creating an internal system of UV and heat defense while leaving no visible residue. Plant productivity stays at optimal levels by improving UV light absorption and increasing photosynthetic activity.

PROTECTS CROPS AHEAD OF SOLAR AND HEAT STRESS EVENTS

Sun damage can happen before it becomes visible. Including 2-4 applications of Eckosil Shield in current standard spray programs protects emerging leaves and developing crops from sunburn and heat stress, saving time and money before the heat of summer sets in.

THE ECKOSIL PREVENTATIVE ADVANTAGE

Traditional solar protectants rely on an exterior film coating to block or reflect solar radiation, providing a reactionary approach to heat stress or sunburn that is topical. Eckosil Shield is a preventative which absorbs into treated crops helping to build superior protection in advance of a heat event. Innovative inside out protection results in fewer sunburned culls, more productive crops and higher quality yields.
