Privi Crop Science’s Mission !!
Inoculation for your crops
• World’s first ever and patented bio-active form of Silica:
Stabilized Silicic Acid
• Highly beneficial to the plants in stress management
• A beneficial catalytic nutrient enhances nutrient uptake and hence overall health of the plant
Silixol: Certificate for Organic Farming
Facts about SiliconSecond largest element (~ 28%) on Earth, next to only Oxygen
Ubiquitously present almost everywhere as silicates and other forms
Despite its large abundance it is utilized by plants in small amounts
Polymeric forms of existence.
Ortho Silicic Acid (OSA) if only bioavailable form of Silicon
Diatoms and soil microbes contributes towards availability of this form
Supply is highly limitedOur technology/formulations provides OSA in a stabilized form so that they can directly utilized by all living organisms
Importance of Silicon
Contribution of beneficial roles of silicon had been overseen in past
Early 1990’s its essentiality had been proven by scientists. In 1999, First International Conference on Silicon in Agriculture was held in Florida.
Considered as a frontline for evolution
Silicic acid polymers are compatible with all biomolecules like sugars, proteins, nucleic acids
Known to play key role in development and growth of both plants and animals.
2011, the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials designated silicon as a “plant beneficial
substance”
Silicon and AgricultureHighest content of Silicon is in soil. Plants also grow in soil. Soil is the medium for Silicon availabilityPlants with low soluble silicon levels have a greater susceptibility to disease, drought stress and other plant stresses
Silicon reduce phosphorus leaching while at the same time increasing phosphorus plant availability.
Silicon’s activity in the soil matrix has been proven to improve micro-nutrient uptake (Cu, Mn, Zn B)
Reduce toxic metal uptake (Al, Na)

Silica requirement
Requirement of Silica is more than most important inputs in Agriculture in key staple crops
Increases cell wall strength
Results in increased tolerance Disease resistance Insect resistance
More upright growth and rigidityIncreased shoot and root densityresulting in higher yieldsRegulates uptake of toxic elementsIncreases heat toleranceSlows transpirationIncreases CEC making other nutrients more available
Impact of Silicon on Plants
Benefits of Silixol
Direct Role of Silicon in Plant Health
silicon makes up between 0.2 and 10% of a plants dry weight.
Associates with cell wall proteins
Prominent in cell walls as solid amorphous silica, providing a structural barrier to pathogens
Translocated from roots to shoots and vica versa
Abiotic stress today is the biggest factor of productivity loss in today’s agriculture
Unfortunately there is no cure / treatment for this

High Temperature
Abiotic Stresses of Plants
Silixol improves plant resistance against water, soil and temperature stress
Silixol enhances nutrient uptake thus providing strength to the roots and plant
Silixol is non-toxic and leaves not residue in the produce
Silixol improves plant resistance to fight against fungal, insect and mite attack
Benefits of Silixol
All these factors automatically lead to increase in yield,
quality and storage life of the produce
Water Stress
Reduction in leaf sizeReduction in stem extension and root proliferationdisturbs plant water relations reduces water-use efficiency. Reduced CO2 assimilation by leaves due to stomatal closure, membrane damagedisturbed enzyme activity. Enhanced metabolite flux due to photorespiratory pathway increases the oxidative load and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Alleviation of Stress by Silixol
Abiotic Stress
Stress Relief Mechanism◦ Increased Production of Antioxidants◦ Binding and co-precipitation with Metal Ions◦ Immobilization of Metal Ions in the soil◦ Modification of element uptake processes.
Silification of leaf surfaces can significantly decrease water loss by transpiration and thus reduce drought stress
Leaf cooling through the efficient mid infrared thermal emission of silica can increase heat tolerance
Accumulation of osmolytes in cells to overcome water loss
Stress management by Silixol
Biotic Stress
Silicic acid induces plant defense mechanism by production of antifungal or antibacterial compounds
Studies have shown that Silicic acid induces higher level of
phytoalexins in following crops
◦ Increasing the resistance of Rice to blast
◦ Increasing the resistance of wheat to powdery mildew
Bacterial and Fungal damage in crop plants is reduced when silica is deposited at sites of attack , mechanically impeding pathogen penetration
