MontanaGrow is mined from a rare deposit of silicon rich, non-crystalline volcanic tuff formed over 30 million years ago by a pyroclastic flow.
MontanaGrow has a rich amorphous content that contains over 76% SiO2 providing a natural source of plant available silicon (silicic acid).
MontanaGrow is extremely porous, weathers easily, and provides immediate and gradual release of plant available silicon.
MontanaGrow reacts dynamically with other minerals and nutrients to address critical soil and plant deficiencies.
MontanaGrow is amorphous, non-crystalline silicon and is not a hazardous or harmful material. Click below for safety data sheet.

MontanaGrow works as an adjuvant with fertilizers, boosting their energy efficiency, saving agriculture producers money, energize the ecosystem and helping protect the environment.
Enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEF) is a blanket term referring to formulations that utilize additives that optimize nutrient uptake and prevent nutrient loss by controlling the speed of release or altering soil-fertilizer reactions.
MontanaGrow is a natural additive that improves phosphorus availability and reduce nitrogen loss from volatilization, leaching and immobilization.
MontanaGrow is chemical free and has a moderate pH, acting as a buffer, blending well with other fertilizers allowing regular application with near neutral pH balance.
