SOLAR GREEN POWER
Buddhas Tree Solar Green Power is a Silicic acid that improves your plant’s immune system – increasing its resistance to pests and diseases, as well as improving nutrient uptake and absorption of CO2.
Supplementing your plants with silica is generally well understood by the growing community. At Buddhas Tree we consider it to be an essential part of any nutrient regime. So what is the new understanding and new innovation? Why Buddhas Tree Solar Green Power over another silicon product? The answer to all three ultimately lies in the form of silicon that enters the plant. Silicic acid is the simplest most soluble basic form of silica. In nature plants uptake silicon in this purest form of silicic acid from the soil where it naturally occurs. It is also the only form of Silica that is directly available to all of the plant and its biological systems.
For some time there has been a number of Silica/Silicone based nutrient additives available on the market containing different types of soluble silica. Some for example are potassium silicate and others of a similar nature. Whilst these provide some benefit, by their nature it is understood that these forms of silica and their usability and absorption by the plant are limited. Only a small proportion is available to the plant and it isn’t as easily translocated around. This impacts on their effectiveness.
SILICON & SUN POWER
Photosynthesis is the engine of the plant and indeed life. The leaf is essentially a solar panel. The underside of which also serves to capture the CO2 gas in the air and as it rises from the root zone . The better that panel is presented to the light, the more efficient it will prove in capturing usable sunlight, water and CO2. Silicon promotes perfectly formed leaves with excellent shape and symmetry, it strengthens the stem and holds that panel in perfect position. The plant is less likely to droop in warm conditions and more likely to maximise photosynthesis.
Silicon has been shown to result in higher concentrations of chlorophyll (The green pigment essential for photosynthesis) per unit area of leaf tissue and this means that the plant can tolerate either low or high light levels better by using light more efficiently. Moreover, good levels of plant available silicon are responsible for producing higher concentrations of the enzyme ribulose bio phosphate carboxylase in leaf tissue. This enzyme regulates the metabolism of CO2 and promotes more efficient use of the CO2 that is absorbed by the plant.
