Improvements in, and relating to, biostimulants

A Biostimulant (fertilizer, plant growth enhancer, plant propagation) comprising a silicate (orthosilicic acid, metasilicate, pyrosilicate, sodium/potassium silicate, 0.01-3 wt%), one or more of ascorbic acid (vitamin c, ascorbate, 0.1-10 wt%), tyrosine (0.05-6 wt%), phenylalanine (0.05-6 wt%), at p...

More Information
Summary:A Biostimulant (fertilizer, plant growth enhancer, plant propagation) comprising a silicate (orthosilicic acid, metasilicate, pyrosilicate, sodium/potassium silicate, 0.01-3 wt%), one or more of ascorbic acid (vitamin c, ascorbate, 0.1-10 wt%), tyrosine (0.05-6 wt%), phenylalanine (0.05-6 wt%), at pH 9 or greater (basic, alkaline). The amino acids are preferably L-enantiomers. It may also include surfactants (Eucarol®, alkyl polyglycoside, polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether, difunctional block copolymer, polyoxyalkylene, alkyl sulphosuccinate, phosphate ester, acyl sarcosine, lecithin, polysorbate), water softeners (borax), thickener (potassium alginate), weak acid, base (sodium/potassium hydroxide), carrier liquid (water) as the diluent. The composition is diluted by a factor from 5:1 to 500:1. The pH may also be no more than 9. Also, is a method of adding a diluent to the composition and applying it to plants or soil. It may be was a wash or a spray.
