Silicon additionally benefits plant growth, stem structure, stress reduction, water usage (osmoregulation), and nutrient utilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial growers find better results, particularly with reverse osmosis (RO) water, when buffering first with Athena Balance. Pure RO water has unstable chemical structure that can trap other nutrients when added without a buffer. Athena Balance adds just enough to the water to create a more homogenous fertilizer solution and reduce the need to pH adjust after mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormula is sediment-free and is compatible with mechanical dosing systems (Dosatron). Athena Balance is not recommended for electronic dosing systems (Netafim).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-item-left\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"head1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRecommended for use with batch tank mixing and Dosatron. Do not use with Netaflex (or other electronic dosers). Mix at 2-10 ml per gallon of water to increase pH as needed. The recommended pH is typically 5.5 to 6.5.\n\u003cdiv class=\"break\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"head1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Practices:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgitate before mixing and dosing to ensure homogeneous solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with other fertilizers and crop protection products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd first to reverse osmosis (RO) water to help buffer for better solution stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-item-right\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\n      .tg {\n        border-collapse: collapse;\n        border-spacing: 0;\n      }\n\n      .tg td {\n        border-color: black;\n        border-style: solid;\n        border-width: 1px;\n        overflow: hidden;\n        padding: 0px 0px;\n        word-break: normal;\n      }\n\n      .tg th {\n        border-color: black;\n        border-style: solid;\n        border-width: 1px;\n        font-weight: normal;\n        overflow: hidden;\n        padding: 0px 0px;\n        word-break: normal;\n      }\n\n      .tg .tg-zv4m {\n        border-color: #ffffff;\n        text-align: left;\n        vertical-align: top\n      }\n\n      .tg .tg-ysfy {\n        border-color: #ffffff;\n        font-size: 14px;\n        text-align: left;\n        vertical-align: top\n      }\n\n      .tg .tg-ofj5 {\n        border-color: #ffffff;\n        text-align: right;\n        vertical-align: top\n      }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-item-right\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: max-width: 360px;\" class=\"tg\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"height: 17px;
