Increased productive potential in sugar cane by application of Armurox ® as a source of bioavailable Silicon

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the efficiency of the new technology Armurox ® and its contribution as bioavailable Silicon in sugar cane. Two trials in commercial areas were conducted in two locations: Ameca and Autlan in the Jalisco region (Mexico). Two foliar applications of Armurox were sprayed during tillering phase, between 30-40 days. According to the results achieved Silicon levels were corrected successfully in both localities. First foliar application was sprayed 30 days after shooting at 10mL.L-1 dose and the second application 15 days after the first. It was estimated an increase in harvest between 20-22%.
