Nutrisil

Chemical Formula Na2SiO3.9H2O

Abstract

We are manufacturers of Peruvian products that promote the sustainable development of aquatic organisms and aquaculture production. We offer solutions for the fertilization, cleaning, and oxygenation of ponds.

Description

This is a 100% ecological aquaculture fertilizer developed from sodium and silicon salts, which promotes the development of natural food (phytoplankton), thereby reducing the amount of artificial feed, with the consequent cost savings and improved yield in the production of crustaceans and mollusks in general.

Applications

The use of 100 to 150 kilograms per hectare per week of Nutrisil is sufficient to promote the growth of diatoms in silicon-poor waters. 

Nutrisil has a very high solubility, thus fertilizing the entire treated area, pond, or pool, improving soil and water quality (key factors in production) because this fertilizer induces the growth of phytoplankton and algae.
