Scaniavital Silica Paste

ACTION AND PROPERTIES OF SCANIAVITAL SILICA PROTECTIVE PASTE:

Scaniavital Silica Paste acts as a highly effective, mechanical "dressing" for damaged plant tissues. Fresh wounds, for example those occurring during regular leaf removal (defoliation) of tomatoes, provide an open path for infections and cause rapid moisture loss. The applied paste quickly dries, creating a durable, flexible physical barrier. This coating effectively prevents dehydration (water stress) of the tissue and completely blocks the penetration of harmful dust particles, dirt and other organic and inorganic contaminants into the stem interior.

The formula of the preparation is based on safe mineral ingredients, making it fully comfortable for everyday use. The ointment is distinguished by excellent adhesion to the plant, while remaining easily washable with water. In case of accidental contamination of hands, work clothes or gardening tools, the preparation can be easily removed without leaving permanent stains.

Advantages of using/choosing Scaniavital Silica Paste:

• Reliable mechanical barrier: Protects exposed, delicate tissues from environmental contaminants and external factors.
• Prevention of water loss: Effectively protects the cut site from drying out, supporting the natural wound healing processes.
• Fast drying: After application to the stem, the preparation quickly hardens, forming a stable protective layer resistant to flaking.
• Safety and cleanliness of work: The product is safe for crops, and any stains on equipment or skin are easily washable with ordinary water.
