Horticulture

• Before planting – use 2-5 kgs per 15 metre row
• Mixing with soil – 250g to a hole 300mm wide by 300mm deep
• 500g to 8 litres water to spray top and underside of leaves
• Approximate coverage for gardens:
• 250g will treat 25 square metres
• 500g will treat 50 square metres

Agriculture

• As anti-caking agent in grain – 2% per volume
• Agricultural farming – approximately 1000kgs per hectare per year*

* High quality silica has a residual effect when used in soil and depending on the soil conditions prior to first application its subsequent application rate will most likely be reduced and may even be unnecessary for a period of 1 to 3 years.
