Longer shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

Longer shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

Shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are available all around the globe, where consumers expect to buy fruits and vegetables in excellent condition. The addition of silicon to the diet of the crops, adds hardiness which results in longer shelf life.

The ‘silicon paradox’

The ‘silicon paradox’

The ‘silicon paradox’ in agriculture is the contrast between the large quantities non-absorbable silicon compounds (such as silicon dioxide, SiO2) and the very low concentrations of absorbable silicon molecules (such as silicic acid Si(OH)4). So it is not about the amount of silicon in the soil, but about the amount of bioavailable (mono-) silicic acid, which Gen200 Control contains.   Instagram &...

The essentialness of (the right) amino acids for life on Earth

The essentialness of (the right) amino acids for life on Earth

Amino acids are essential for all life on earth. These very important molecules are the precursors of proteins. Amino acids may be the most important addition to a plant’s diet. As far as human knowledge goes, all life on earth is made possible by the synthesis of amino acids by plants through the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The list of advantages when it comes to the application of amino acid products is endless. From strengthening plant cells, to increasing...

Using GEN200 Control to control the height of plants

Using GEN200 Control to control the height of plants

Silicon uptake by plants strengthens cell walls and improves stiffness in the plants’ epidermis. Because of this, the use of GEN200 Control can be effective in controlling the vertical growth of plants. By feeding the plants increased doses of GEN200 Control, they will get elevated levels of silicon in their system. The physical effects this silicon has on the cell walls and outer layers of the plant prevent the plant tissue from stretching. The result is shorter plants,...
