Redox Mainstay Si - Calcium Silicate Ca 10% - 2.5 Gallon (2/Cs)
About this product
Redox Mainstay Si is a liquid calcium-silicate nutrient that supplies 10% calcium (Ca) and 22% silicon dioxide (SiO2), both derived from calcium silicate. A microencapsulation technology delivers soluble monosilicic acid, the only form of silicon that plants can absorb, providing slow, sustained release of bioavailable silicon together with calcium. Supplied in 2.5-gallon containers, two per case.
Guaranteed Analysis
| Component | Percentage | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Calcium (Ca) | 10% | Calcium silicate |
| Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), non-plant-food | 22% | Calcium silicate |
Functional Mechanism
Silicon delivered as monosilicic acid reinforces cell-wall structure, improves tolerance to abiotic stress such as heat and drought, and supports nutrient transport within the plant. Calcium functions both as a synergistic carrier for the silicon and as a bioactive structural nutrient. The microencapsulated, slow-release form maintains availability over time rather than precipitating out of solution.
Application
| Method | Rate | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Soil or fertigation | 0.5 to 3 gallons per acre | Every 1 to 2 weeks |
| Foliar | 0.25 to 1.5 gallons per acre | Every 1 to 2 weeks |
Mixing and Compatibility
Always perform a jar test before tank mixing. Once the material is added to water, constant agitation is required to keep it in suspension; premix the product if tank agitation is limited. Use caution when combining with reactive phosphorus and calcium sources, and avoid extreme shifts in tank pH.
Storage and Handling
Store in a cool location and keep from freezing. Keep out of reach of children.
