One Egyptian study for example looked at maize response to foliar of potassium silicate they found that a 1% potassium silicate which is 1 litre per hectare and 100 litre of water was particularly productive in fact they chronicled significant increases in plant height, ear length, ear diameter, grain weight and grain and straw yield following those 3 foliar applications.
