MontanaGrow is mined from an ancient deposit of silicon rich, non-crystalline volcanic tuff formed by a pyroclastic flow. MontanaGrow’s highly porous nature is comprised of rich amorphous content that contains over 76% SiO2 and provides a natural source of plant available silicon. MontanaGrow reacts dynamically with other minerals and nutrients to address critical soil and plant deficiencies that Power Your Garden.
As a beneficial substance MontanaGrow’s plant available silicon improves root systems, yields, and overall plant health and is proven to increase:
Plant Cell Wall Strength
Photosynthesis
Disease Resistance
Flood Tolerance
Nutrient Balance
UV Tolerance
Carbon Sequestration
Drought and Salt Tolerance
High and Low Temperature Tolerance
Ability to Regulate the Uptake of Heavy Metals
As a volcanic tuff MontanaGrow is porous, weathers easily, and provides immediate and gradual release of silicic acid plus benefits of a non-crystalline natural source of silicon that many liquid silicons do not provide, including:
Improving soil texture.
Does not run-off or leach.
High cation exchange capacity.
Chemical free, will not burn plants.
Moderate pH acts as a buffer allowing regular application.
Moisture holding capacity through absorption and adsorption.
Reduces nitrogen volatility and improves phosphorus availability.
3.5 on the MOHS hardness scale allows mineral to easily breaks down with weathering.
