Benefits

Those in agribusiness are seeing the many benefits of using Diatomite.

BENEFITS

Higher yields, reduced water usage and less time spent on attending crops results in substantial financial returns
Additionally the quality of the crops resulted in significantly higher yields

The most sought after benefit of DE is its unparalleled ability to hold over 150% of its own weight in water
The high cation exchange capacity improves the condition of soils by delivering the required water and nutrients efficiently when required by the plant
The absorbent quality of Trisil’s DE reduces the severity of drought when regularly applied
Trisil’s DE enhances the soil’s ability to uptake and maximise the utilisation of nutrients, such as, phosphorous, nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and calcium

The high concentrate of plant available silica in Trisil’s DE strengthens the plant at a cellular level aiding the production of nutrient dense food
The silicon strengthens plant cell walls allowing crops to withstand common weather stressors including high winds, heat and cold
This increased strength is critical in allowing the plant to maximise the effect of photosynthesis, and producing high quality outputs

Pests cannot build immunity to DE as it is a mechanical mode of action that abrades away their exoskeleton
The strengthened cell wall provides a reinforced barrier to insects
DE reduces internal worms and parasites in livestock restoring health back to the digestive system while binding toxins and heavy metals boosting overall health and performance

Due to the high abundance of active microbes within the soil, higher rates of carbon sequestration takes place, resulting in less CO2 in the atmosphere
Reduces the transpiration and evaporation as the water is locked in the DE until the plants request it, thereby reducing the effects of rapid evaporation
DE does not cause harm to animals if digested
Trisil’s DE ensures less or no chemical fertilisers are required, protecting the land for generations to come
