Frequently asked questions

Which crops is Silabaal® suitable for?

For all plants that photosynthesise – arable crops, vegetables, fruit and specialty crops.

Does the pH of soil or water matter?

No. Silabaal® works through the leaf, so soil pH has no influence. The pH of the water is not decisive either.

Can I mix Silabaal® with other products?

Yes. Silabaal® can be mixed with all common foliar fertilizers and plant aids; no adverse interactions are known so far.

Does Silabaal® replace other fertilizers?

No. Silabaal® is a supplement that supports plant growth. Usual fertilization and crop protection should be continued.

What if I use too much or too little?

Overdosing does no harm but may leave a fine white film on the leaf that disappears with the next rain. With too little product, the effect is correspondingly lower.

Do I have to keep to the intervals exactly?

The timing should be followed, but small shifts are not a problem. Every single application helps the plant.

Safety note: do not inhale the spray mist. Store in a dry, dark place, out of reach of children and pets. After eye contact, rinse with water.
