potassium silicate formula to buffer irrigation water and stabilize at ideal pH
Athena Balance is a simple formula of potassium silicate specifically concentrated to buffer irrigation water and stabilize at the ideal pH. Silicon also benefits plant growth, stem structure, stress reduction, water use (osmoregulation) and nutrient utilization.
Commercial growers get better results
Particularly with reverse osmosis (RO) water, when they first dab with Athena Balance. Pure RO water has an unstable chemical structure that can trap other nutrients when added without a buffer.
- Athena Balance adds just enough to the water to create a more homogeneous fertilizer solution and reduce the need to adjust the pH after mixing.
The formula is sediment-free and compatible with mechanical dosing systems (Dosatron).
It is not recommended for electronic dosing systems (Netafim).
