About this trial
BIO520 Liquid Mineral Nutrient Concentrate
BIO520 is a chemical-free, super-concentrated liquid mineral solution made in the USA. It comes from micro-pulverized mineral ores (volcanic magma, igneous rock and sea sediments) that are processed to make silicon dioxide and trace minerals available to plants. It is meant to work alongside your current nutrient program, not replace it, and helps plants take up nutrients better. The product was built to help fruits and vegetables thrive, but if used as a foliar spray it is excellent at stopping and reversing powdery mildew.
Most growers see a clear difference within 24 hours of the first foliar application, with more improvement over the next 24 hours. We ship by FedEx the day after you’re approved, so the whole trial takes about 10 days.
What you will see
- Eliminates powdery mildew: with no chemicals or caustic side effects
- Stronger growth and yield: Supports faster growth cycles, more photosynthesis, and better fruit and flower quality.
- Better nutrient uptake: Trace minerals (silicon dioxide, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium) help plants absorb more of what you already feed them.
- Plant resilience: Helps plants handle environmental stress and supports faster seed germination and clone development.
- Makes growing easier and more consistent
- Organic friendly: OMRI Listed, Heavy metals tested below detectable levels.
- Long shelf life: Lasts up to 5 years stored cool and out of direct sunlight
Application
- When used as a foliar spray: Dilute 1:500 (approx 6 ml’s per gallon) (this is the proper rate to combat PM)
- For Clones and Veg: Dilute 1:500 (approx 6 ml’s per gallon)
- Hydroponics / irrigation: Dilute 1:1000 in chlorine-free water (RO preferred). This is includes flower and all other forms of Hydroponic growing.
- Drip irrigation: About 1 L per 4,200 m². Can be mixed with your existing fertilizers.
Your trial kit:
2 pints of BIO520. At the foliar rate (1:500) this makes about 125 gallons of spray, which covers almost any affected room. You don’t need much.
Spray tip:
Cover the leaves as thoroughly as you can, top and bottom. Wherever the spray touches, powdery mildew is reduced or eliminated.
Powdery mildew can take out a whole room. BIO520 helps you save the room, and sometimes the facility, without caustic chemicals.
Ideal for:
Indoor and vertical farms, hydroponic and aeroponic systems, greenhouses and nurseries, cannabis, viticulture, floriculture and food crops.
What we'd like trial participants to track: Germination and rooting speed, plant vigor, how many days to harvest, yield, and quality (for cannabis: terpene and trichome development), all compared against an untreated control.
About the vendor
The only Silica product that will not change your PH or clog your lines. Stronger healthier plants, higher quality, better yield. Also, works surprisingly well on Powdery Mildew
