Bio Charge - SILARA N30

Available now. Available over time.

• Dissolved silicon fraction: provides an immediately available silicon component following application.
• Colloidal silica reservoir: designed to progressively release soluble silicon over time.
• High-surface-area particles: nanometre-scale amorphous silica provides a large reactive surface in a low-volume concentrate.
• Programme flexibility: designed to fit alongside compatible inputs in pasture, cropping, horticulture and viticulture programmes.

SILARA N30 is intended to support the plant as part of the wider nutrition and management programme for the intended crop.

Key pasture benefits

• Root development: supports stronger, deeper roots for improved access to water and nutrients.
• Plant structure: supports stronger stems and leaves and may help maintain a productive pasture stand.
• Photosynthetic performance: designed to support efficient photosynthesis and productive growth.
• Stress tolerance: supports the plant’s response to drought, heat and other environmental stresses.
• Nutrient efficiency: designed to work alongside nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients.
• Dry-matter potential: developed to support productive growth and more usable feed from every hectare.

Ideal for

• Actively growing pasture
• Suitable cropping, horticulture and viticulture systems, with crop-specific rate and timing confirmed by Bio Charge
• Pasture programmes using liquid nitrogen
• Urea and ammonium sulphate programmes
• Compatible foliar nutrition programmes
• Programmes using gibberellic acid, subject to compatibility testing
• Farms looking for a low-volume silicon input
• Pasture programmes focused on roots, resilience and dry-matter production

Application and mixing

Coverage

• 1 litre treats approximately 3.3 hectares.
• One 20-litre container treats approximately 66 hectares at the typical rate.

Mixing order

1. Part-fill the tank: fill the spray tank one-third to one-half with clean water and begin agitation.
2. Add SILARA N30: add the required amount while maintaining agitation.
3. Add compatible products: add other fertilisers, trace elements or additives according to their label directions.
4. Top up: fill the tank to the required water volume and maintain agitation through mixing and application.

Best results

• Apply to actively growing pasture and other suitable cropping, horticulture and viticulture systems. Confirm the appropriate rate, timing and compatibility for the intended crop and programme with Bio Charge. The 300 mL/ha rate is the typical pasture rate.
• Maintain agitation during mixing and application.
• Conduct a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products.
• Use clean water and suitable application equipment.

Storage and handling

• Store in the original container away from direct sunlight.
• Protect from frost.
• Agitate before use.
• Clean application equipment after use.
• Always read and follow the current product label.

Research-led product development

Published silicon research provides a strong biological rationale for evaluating SILARA N30. The studies below used other silicon formulations, application methods and growing conditions, so their findings should not be treated as guaranteed SILARA N30 results.
