SCIENCE

Mode of Action

Understanding the mechanism of SILICON PLUS

Disease Control Mechanism

SILICON PLUS is absorbed by the plant and provides systemic protection against fungal diseases. Its active ingredient, Hexaconazole, inhibits the CYP51 enzyme, preventing the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts fungal growth and development, providing both preventive and curative disease control. The SC formulation also offers improved leaf coverage, better adhesion, and enhanced rainfastness for longer-lasting protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries about SILICON PLUS insecticide

SILICON PLUS is absorbed by the plant and moves systemically to protect both treated and new plant growth. Hexaconazole inhibits the CYP51 enzyme, preventing the formation of ergosterol, which is essential for fungal cell membrane development. This disrupts fungal growth and provides both preventive and curative disease control. Its SC formulation also improves leaf coverage, adhesion, and rainfastness.

SILICON PLUS is generally compatible with most insecticides and fungicides, but it should not be mixed with alkaline compounds, Sulphur, and copper-based fungicides. Always perform a small-scale jar compatibility test before preparing the tank mix.
