MaxSil Pty Ltd
MaxSil produces a patented silicon-based Bio stimulant from our premises at Brendale in Queensland.
Our product has very high levels of soluble or “plant available silicon” commonly described as “PAS” – those levels are up to 40 times that of competitor product and this in turn leads to superior cost effectiveness.
The levels of PAS in in MaxSil facilitate excellent Nutrient Uptake Efficiency which leads to better plant health, increased plant structure, higher yields, increased quality and in some crops, an increase in shelf life.
MaxSil is high potency and can increase uptake of all nutrients, including Phosphorous
MaxSil product has also been proven to increase crop survival in hostile soils such as those affected by salinity and acidity. This benefit has been demonstrated on saline soils in South Australia (lupins), the Sunraysia Districts (wheat) and in Western Australia on barley.
Our business sits firmly in the realm of the “Circular Economy” model
