AgroDex SKO - Silicon and Potassium Fertiliser for Crop Strength and Plant Health

Improves structural integrity, stress tolerance, and disease resistance in plants

AgroDex SKO is a concentrated liquid formulation containing silicon and potassium, designed to correct and prevent silicate deficiencies in a wide range of crops and soils. This fully soluble solution ensures nutrients are available for immediate uptake, improving plant response and resilience. Formulated with organic acids and plant proteins, AgroDex SKO enhances cell structure, promotes better turgidity, and strengthens plant tissues against environmental stress and pathogens.

Silicon, while not essential for all plants, plays a significant role in improving plant growth, photosynthesis, and transpiration efficiency. Potassium complements these effects by enhancing metabolism, water regulation, and stress recovery. Together, they contribute to improved yield quality and long-term plant health.

Why Choose This Product

AgroDex SKO combines silicon and potassium to provide structural strength and improved stress resistance in plants. It fortifies cell walls, enhances photosynthetic efficiency, and supports plant defense mechanisms against pathogens and environmental stressors. The inclusion of organic acids ensures fast assimilation and superior mobility through both foliar and root systems. AgroDex SKO strengthens crop resilience and supports yield consistency in diverse conditions.

Frequently Asked Question

How does AgroDex SKO improve plant strength and stress tolerance?

Silicon and potassium work together to enhance plant defense, growth, and structure. AgroDex SKO delivers these nutrients in a bioavailable form supported by organic acids and amino acids for faster uptake and improved distribution throughout the plant. Key benefits include:

  • Increased structural strength - Silicon reinforces plant cell walls, improving rigidity and helping plants withstand environmental pressures such as wind and drought.
  • Enhanced disease resistance - Regular application has been shown to reduce foliar and root fungal infections by stimulating natural plant defense responses.
  • Improved water retention - Strengthened cell walls help maintain turgidity, reducing water loss and improving drought tolerance.
  • Better stress adaptation - Silicon improves plant recovery under salinity, heat, and cold stress by supporting antioxidant systems and osmotic balance.
  • Optimised photosynthesis and nutrient flow - Potassium facilitates enzyme activation, carbohydrate transport, and chlorophyll function, resulting in greener, more productive crops.
  • Long-term yield stability - When applied throughout the season, AgroDex SKO enhances overall plant resilience, crop uniformity, and harvest quality.

Growers who use AgroDex SKO consistently report healthier crops with stronger stems, improved leaf colour, and reduced incidence of disease, especially in crops subject to climate and soil stress.
