Age Old Nutrients Age Old Commercial Silicon - 55 Gal Drum

Tank-Mixable Silica for Large-Scale Feeding - 55 Gal Drum

Many silicon products precipitate in the tank and clog irrigation lines. Age Old Commercial Silicon is a stabilized dispersion of silica nanoparticles that is tank-mix compatible with other fertilizer inputs in dilution, and it is designed not to precipitate and clog irrigation equipment. It supports plants' resistance to abiotic stress.

The 55 Gal drum suits commercial operations and large facilities that run high-volume fertigation and want a bulk supply. Small gardens will find it far more than they need. The drum ships as a single unit and is a special-order item.

Key Features & Benefits

• Stabilized silica nanoparticle dispersion — gives you a silicon source that stays in suspension.
• Tank-mix compatible in dilution — fits into existing fertilizer programs with other inputs.
• Low pH for a silicon product — it should not shift the overall pH of the fertilizer solution.
• Low use rate — a small amount goes into each batch.
• 55 Gal drum — bulk packaging for high-volume use.

Who Should Use Age Old Commercial Silicon

Licensed commercial growers who already run, or are being trained on, the Age Old Commercial line. The system requires multiple products, including Calcium Nitrate, and the manufacturer recommends consultation and training before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will it clog my irrigation equipment?
A: In dilution it is designed not to precipitate and clog irrigation equipment. Follow the manufacturer's mixing guidance for your system.

Q: Does it change my solution pH?
A: It carries a lower pH than most silicon products and is used at a low rate. As a result, it should not change the overall pH of the fertilizer solution.

Q: Can I use it on its own?
A: The Age Old Commercial products are part of a larger system, and multiple products are required, including Calcium Nitrate. Consult the manufacturer before building a program.

Q: What are abiotic stresses?
A: Abiotic stresses are non-living environmental pressures on plants, such as heat, drought or salinity. Silicon supplements are used to help plants cope with them.

Q: Is this a stock item?
A: No, it is a special-order item that ships as a single 55 Gal drum.
