Stabilized Monosilicic Acid
Silicon is an underappreciated nutrient that is critical to thriving and yielding plants. Dune's unique silicic acid (Si(OH)4) liquid formulation is instantly plant-available and easy to apply both as a foliar spray or as part of a typical fertigation strategy.
Often left out of traditional liquid biofertilizers, this highly available form of silicon means greater and more immediate benefits to plants, and the stable formula won't clog up irrigation systems which means fewer headaches for the grower.
Contains: 7.53% monosilicic acid and 2.2% soluble silicon
How it works
1. Apply Dune as a foliar or root drench.
2. The monosilicic acid is immediately available for plant uptake via root or other plant tissues.
3. When plants have higher concentrations of silicon in their tissues, they are stronger, more upright, and more resistant to breakage. They are also more tolerant of biotic stressors like herbivores and pathogens, and more resistant to abiotic stressors like chemical pesticides and climate variation.

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Soluble Silicon (Si) from monosilicic acid............2.2%
*Note: Orthosilicic acid (OSA) is chemically synonymous with monosilicic acid (MSA)
APPLICATION RATES
Field: 1.7-3.4 fl. oz. /acre
Indoor, greenhouse, and container: 0.5-1 mL/gal
Apply every 2-4 weeks.
For foliar applications, concentration matters. Do not use a spray volume of more than 100 gallons per acre.
Product Performance Reports
Dune™ x Riesling Grape Production
A study evaluated the foliar application of Dune™ to Riesling grapevines and found that it significantly boosted yields without negatively affecting grape quality (Brix, pH, and TA). Dune™ also outperformed calcium and standard fertilizers, increasing cluster numbers and weight.
download reportDune™ x Asexual Propagation of Poinsettia
A trial evaluated Dune's impact on root development in two poinsettia cultivars. Dune enhanced both root vigor and formation speed, leading to faster plug fill and quicker transplanting. These improvements can benefit growers by reducing propagation time and enhancing overall efficiency and plant health.
DOWNLOAD REPORTDune™ x Frost Damaged Citrus Trees
A grower treated frost-damaged citrus trees with Dune monosilicic acid, Lumina amino acid fertilizer, and calcium acetate to restore canopy health. Spectrometer data over 10 days showed increased calcium and boron translocation. Results suggest these treatments aided rapid nutrient mobilization, benefiting both damaged and healthy tissues.
DOWNLOAD REPORTDune x Continuµm x Leafy Greens
A commercial grower compared Fosphite biopesticide to a biostimulant program (Dune monosilicic acid + Continuµm microbes) to assess yield impact. Nine leafy green varieties were tested across three treatments: Fosphite, biostimulant, and untreated control. Yield (oz/plant) and percent increase in yield (*PIY) were analyzed for each variety.
