¿Why apply Silicon alone in acidic soils?


Unlock nutrients and shield your crop with Diatomax: the power of 30% Calcium + 44% Silicon

Most soil amendments do only one thing.
Diatomax corrects pH and strengthens plant structure in a single application.

Composition guaranteed by a certified laboratory

Your roots explore the soil without aluminum blockages, your leaves withstand intense sunlight without dehydration, and your fruits set clean and uniform.

At Diatomax, we prioritize Crop Physiology, ensuring that each plant lives free from abiotic stress.

By correcting acidity and reinforcing plant tissue with Silicon, we allow the crop to express its maximum genetic potential and deliver the harvest the farmer deserves.

Engineer,
You know Silicon does not work alone.

In the acidic soils of our region, applying inert products with no neutralizing capacity is a waste of money.

If the pH is low, aluminum blocks the plant’s nutrition.

You do not need generic diatomaceous earth.
You need a Reactive Mineral Matrix.

The Current Problem

❌ You buy agricultural lime for the soil.
❌ You buy Silicon for foliar application.
❌ You pay double freight and double application costs.

The Diatomax Solution

✅ One single amendment that provides Calcium for the roots and Silicon for aerial defense.

3 Physiological Reasons to Incorporate Diatomax into Your Program

1. Soil Amendment Effect (Acidic Soils):
With 30.56% CaO, Diatomax reacts in the soil solution, helping neutralize exchangeable Aluminum.

This releases fixed Phosphorus (P), maximizing the investment you have already made in NPK fertilizers.

2. Integrated Pest Management (IPM):
The 44.85% Silicon is absorbed and precipitates in cell walls (phytoliths).

This hardens plant tissues, mechanically hindering attacks by sucking insects (thrips, mites) and the penetration of fungal hyphae.

3. Logistical Profitability:
As a national product shipped anywhere in Colombia, we guarantee freshness and availability.

Available in 25 kg and 50 kg bags for easy field handling.

Transparency

We do not hide our technical data sheet. Our current batch has laboratory analysis from October 2025. We know exactly what we are sending to your farm.

Note:
If you need Bentonite for water retention, we also offer a reference with 71% Silicon. Ask your advisor.
