Silicon is the 2nd most abundant mineral in Earth’s crust, yet it's widely underutilized in agriculture and crop nutrition.
Silicon supplementation can reduce pesticide reliance by 30–50% even replacing them is some cases while improving crop yields and vigor.
Here's how:

Glyphosate is the most heavily applied herbicide in history. A new study from the @NIH and @CDCgov reveals that the weedkiller is linked to the development of cancer and other diseases.

@Geoderma_Jrnl@McGillMacCampus Interesting. Would the mechanical stability soil aggregates influenced by Ca apply to silty and clayey soils in temperate climates too?
