Data sheet
Description
What is Tierra Diatomeas?
Tierra Diatomeas Boom Nutrients is composed of fossilized diatoms, unicellular microalgae that were part of marine phytoplankton millions of years ago. Their exoskeletons, rich in natural silica, were deposited on ancient seabeds and lakebeds, forming a mineral with extraordinary properties for agriculture.
Its high porosity allows it to retain moisture, nutrients, and organic matter, improving soil structure and providing essential minerals for the proper development of plants.
Benefits of Tierra Diatomeas
100% natural mechanical insecticide
Tierra Diatomeas acts through a physical mechanism, without using chemical insecticides, so pests do not develop resistance, maintaining its effectiveness over time. Its microscopic particles damage the protective layer of the exoskeleton of numerous insects, causing their dehydration. In addition, it is also useful as a pest preventive.
It is effective against:
- Aphids
- Thrips
- Whiteflies
- Ants
- Mealybugs
- Red spider mites
- Soil mites
- Larvae of various insects
- Slugs and snails (as a protective barrier)
Strengthens plants thanks to its high silicon content
With approximately 70% silicon, it promotes the strengthening of plant cell walls, providing:
- More resistant stems.
- Greater structural stability.
- Better tolerance to heat and water stress.
- Greater resistance against certain diseases.
- More vigorous development throughout the crop cycle.
Silicon is released slowly, providing a continuous supply that accompanies plant growth.
Improves substrate quality
Incorporated into the soil or substrate, it helps to:
- Improve aeration.
- Promote drainage.
- Reduce compaction.
- Increase moisture retention.
- Retain nutrients available to the plant.
All of this contributes to a healthier root system and more balanced growth.
Mineral composition
Tierra Diatomeas contains more than 40 minerals and trace elements beneficial for cultivation, including:
- Silicon
- Calcium
- Calcium carbonate
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Phosphorus
- Iron
- Aluminum
- Chlorine
- Calcium sulfate
- In addition, it provides the three main macronutrients present naturally:
- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorus (P)
- Potassium (K)
