ISP SiliXol Turf & Ornamental

Highly plant available Silicon source which is tank mix flexible

SiliXOL T&O is a proprietary formulation of stabilized Orthosilicic acid. The product has been designed to strengthen and improve plant response in a range of situations including turfgrass, ornamentals and nursery production. 

SiliXOL T&O contains 25g/L of Orthosilicic acid, which equates to 0.8% plant-available silicon (Si). SiliXOL T&O is a tank mix flexible formulation of Silicon and can be mixed with a range of turf and horticultural management products. 

Key Features

  • Highly plant-available source of Silicon.
  • Patented, stabilised form of Orthosilicic Acid.
  • Provides a mechanical barrier, increasing leaf rigidity, and enhancing playability characteristics such as ball roll and wear tolerance in sports turf.
  • Increases plant defence characteristics.
  • Enhances anti-oxidant systems & photosynthesis.
  • Tank mix compatible formulation. Unlike a range of Silicon sources, SiliXOL T&O can be tank-mixed with a very broad range of turf and horticultural management products (as long as they are acidic or neutral in pH).
  • Unlike many forms of Silicon, SiliXOL T&O is a tank mix flexible with Trinexapac ethyl.
  • Improves plant health, particularly during stressful growing conditions.
  • Premium quality formulation, developed and researched by Privi Life Sciences.
  • Formulated in Australia from imported materials.

Modes of Action

Silicon is one of the most abundant minerals found in soils. However, much of the silicon found in soils is present in insoluble (silicon dioxide or iron silicates) forms that are unavailable for plant uptake. Silicon is absorbed by plants as silicic acid, (H4SiO4). SiliXOL T&O contains silicon (Si) in this plant available form (orthosilicic acid, also known as OSA). It provides many benefits to plant growth and development, as highlighted below;

  • Mechanical barrier – Silicon strengthens cells walls and the plant cuticle. Improves leaf rigidity, enhancing playability characteristics such as ball roll and wear tolerance.
  • Increases Plant Defence Characteristics – Silicon provides faster and stronger activation of defence genes & enzymes within plants when in high enough concentrations, whilst generally assisting with protection from pest activity via enhanced cuticle strength.
  • Improves Anti-Oxidant systems & photosynthesis.
  • Enhances plant appearance and aesthetics. In ornamental plants, orthosilicic acid can prevent lodging of taller growing grasses, providing a sturdier, more structured plant.
  • Links to improvement in drought and salinity stress.
