Description

Basfoliar^® Si SL is a liquid biostimulant that can remedy abiotic stress factors such as drought, heat and salt stress thanks to the combined action of silicon and glycine betaine. It contains highly absorbable silicon, which structurally strengthens cell walls to form an additional protective layer against abiotic stress. Glycine betaine is a natural osmoprotectant, which will protect cells from cell bursting by limiting moisture loss from plant cells. Basfoliar^® Si SL can therefore improve fruit and crop quality thanks to this dual activity.

This product is miscible with various crop protection products, however mixtures with strong alkalis or mineral oils should be avoided. Because of the high pH and presence of silicon, a simple compatibility test with the intended mixing partners is strongly recommended before practical use. When doing so, observe the pH range for the activity of the intended mixing partner.

Shake well before use. First fill the tank with water to three-quarters of the desired spray volume and then add the product under constant stirring. If a plant protection product is being mixed, add it. Finally, add the remaining water volume. Application of the spray liquid should then be done as quickly as possible. After use, clean the spraying system thoroughly with clean water.

Take note of any hazardous material labels on the product.

Storage general

Protect stored fertilizer from frost, light, and moisture.
Store loose goods inside a building and not in outdoor areas. Keep doors closed and cover heaped materials.
As the product has a tendency to attract moisture, protect it from rain and standing water.
Take note of the hazardous material labels on the product where appropriate.
Do not stack pallets on top of each other. Check the label or safety data sheet for the appropriate transport conditions and storage temperatures.

Storage temperature

Avoid frost and excessively high temperatures.
Avoid large temperature fluctuations during storage.

Storage period

Products should be used up as quickly as possible once opened.
