NTS Dia-life
Dia-Life™ is based on a micronized diatomaceous earth, which contains 90% (approx.) silica in amorphous form – unlike quartz crystal, there is no risk of associated health problems. Diatomaceous earth (DE) consists of the microscopic, fossilized, chelated remains of diatoms – single-celled aquatic plants. A large part of the plant response is based on silicon, but DE also contains a broad range of micronutrients. Silicon also plays a role in photosynthesis and acts as a general tonic. Recently boron has been identified as a silica synergist, so this formula contains boron at around 0.70%.

BenefitsDia-Life™ can be fertigated, foliar sprayed, or injected at planting. Common applications include horticultural crops, turf, pasture, as well as field crops. We recommend using Dia-Life™ as part of a proactive fertility program to improve crop health and resistance to disease and insect attack. Regular foliar applications ensure a steady supply of silicon, which is often immobile within plants.
