Levity Crop Science Zeme
Zeme is a pioneering new product that improves strength, health and vigor of crops and protects against stress. Zeme uses Si-X technology to help plants transport and distribute silicon, a nutrient that can improve quality but is poorly taken up and distributed by plants.

- HIGHLIGHTS
To help make silicon more effective, Levity have developed Si-X technology (patent applied), which stimulates influx and efflux of silicon from xylem. This Si-X technology used in Zeme ensures that plants can efficiently take up and distribute silicon making it work far more effectively.; Because the silicon in Zeme is more mobile in the plant it can be applied at low levels (1L/Ha) and less frequently than conventional silicon fertilizers.; Another limitation of silicon application to crops is the fast conversion to inert forms. When silicon is deposited in leaves; (or applied to leaves in a foliar spray) it rapidly forms opals, thin layers of silica gel.; These opals give the plant a degree of physical toughness and protection, but are chemically inert. Once they are formed the silicon can no longer be redistributed and can no longer have any growth stimulant or anti-stress effects.; The Si-X technology used in Zeme slows down the process of silica gel formation, which when combined with improved transport allows a more long lasting and greater growth stimulation and anti-stress effect. Levity's research demonstrates superior growth response when compared to conventional silicon applications.; Zeme makes metabolically active silicon rapidly available, in strong healthy growth. Research shows Zeme improves flower / grain development, stem thickness and height, and produces a stronger more upright crop.; Strengthens Crops Against Damage; Silicon gives plant tissue physical toughness that helps plants resist damage. The Si-X technology used in Zeme improves the distribution of silicon, giving better and more long-lasting strength to the crop.; Improves Growth During Stressful Growing Conditions; Silicon elicits a strong anti stress response in crops, but only when metabolically active. The Si-X technology used in Zeme keeps silicon metabolically active for longer stimulating a powerful anti-stress effect.; Improves Post-harvest Shelf Life; Pre harvest applications of zeme are an effective way of extending post-harvest shelf life in leafy vegetables and fruit crops.
