BSB’s rice husk Sicarb contains natural components of silica which is transported and accumulated in the xylem (tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves), helping to prevent collapse. Silica also accumulates along the root axis and in many layers of the epidermis, acting as a very effective barrier against invasion of the plant body by pathogens and parasitic plants in leaf buds. Silica also reduces excessive water loss, increases resistance to extreme weather conditions such as floods, droughts, salinity, and enhances antioxidant capacity.

Trace minerals play a vital role in increasing crop yield and quality, enhancing resistance to unfavorable external conditions, pests and diseases, minimizing environmental pollution, and contributes to soil improvement.

Key Trace Elements in CHERRY and its benefits:

• Calcium (CaO) forms calcium pectate, an important component in cell walls, keeping the cells strong, detoxifying for the plant, and soil improvement.

• Magnesium reduces acidity, neutralizes pH, helps plants synthesize protein and convert nutrients.

• Manganese (Mn) enhances the maturity and germination of seeds and plays a key role in some physiological processes, especially photosynthesis; increases yield and dry matter production, enhances the resistance of the structure against disease, and increases drought and thermal stress tolerance.

• Iron is a catalyst for the formation of Chlorophyll and acts as a carrier for oxygen. It also helps to form some respiratory enzyme systems, making leaves beautiful and well-developed.

• Copper is essential for Chlorophyll formation and also acts as a catalyst for other reactions in plants. Copper affects many of the biochemical and physiological processes of plants, such as N fixation, nitrate reduction, breakdown and CO2 reduction. It creates new tissue stems, leaves, and roots and affects the cold, heat, and drought tolerance of the plant. In addition, Copper promotes the formation of vitamin A in seeds, which is essential for seed development.

• Zinc activates about 70 enzymes involved in many physiological and biochemical activities of plants. Zinc is considered one of the first trace elements needed for crops and affects crop yield.

• Boron is essential for cell formation, sugar transport in plants, production of amino acids, germination of pollen grains, growth of pollen tubes, and essential for cell and seed formation. Boron directly affects cell differentiation, hormone exchange, N exchange, water, and other mineral exchange.
