UPL Gainexa is a liquid bio-fertilizer and plant vitalizer containing Orthosilicic Acid (OSA) 2% WSL. It works by reinforcing cell walls, boosting stress and pest resistance, and optimizing nutrient uptake. This fertilizer strengthens the crop structure, betters growth, and offers better yields in terms of quality and quantity.
Key Features and Benefits of UPL Gainexa:
Strengthens Structure: UPL Gainexa helps build silica deposits within the plant’s cell walls, producing stronger stems and erect leaves, etc.
Improves Crop Health: UPL Ortho Silicic Acid helps develop a physical barrier that makes it tough for sucking pests and fungal pathogens.
Better Growth: The UPL Gainexa promotes larger, more upright leaves and increases chlorophyll production, leading to quicker growth.
Improved Uptake: This fertilizer strengthens root tissue and improves the uptake of macronutrients, for boosted growth.
High Compatibility: The UPL Gainexa can be used with other commonly used insecticides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizers, with increased efficacy.
UPL Gainexa Uses — Suitable Crops:
UPL Gainexa covers all major crop categories across Indian farming:
Vegetable Crops: Tomato, Chilli, Capsicum, Brinjal, Okra, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Onion, Potato, Cucumber
Fruit Crops: Mango, Grapes, Banana, Pomegranate, Guava, Citrus, Apple, Papaya, Strawberry
Field and Cereal Crops: Paddy, Wheat, Maize, Sugarcane, Cotton
Pulses and Oilseeds: Groundnut, Soybean, Chickpea, Mustard, Sunflower
Plantation Crops: Coffee, Tea, Coconut
Ornamentals and Flowers: All ornamental plants, flowers, and nursery crops
UPL Gainexa Dose — Recommended Dose:
The Gainexa UPL Dose Per Litre is 2.5 ml per litre of water, equivalent to 40 ml per 15L pump and 500 ml per acre in 200 litres of water.
Application Method | Dose | Timing |
Foliar Spray | 2.5 ml per litre of water (40 ml per 15L pump) | At vegetative stage, pre-flowering, and fruit development |
Soil Drench | 500 ml per acre in sufficient water | At transplanting or early vegetative stage |
Drip Irrigation | 500 ml per acre | At critical growth stages — tillering, flowering, and fruiting |
How To Use UPL Gainexa:
Measure 2.5 ml of UPL Gainexa per litre of water required for the spray volume.
Add to the sprayer tank half-filled with clean water, mix well, and fill with the remaining water before spraying.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces and all plant parts — ensure thorough coverage for complete silicon deposition across the crop canopy.
Apply the first spray at the vegetative growth stage — when stems are actively elongating, and cell wall development is most rapid.
Apply the second spray at the pre-flowering stage to improve flower setting and fruit development.
Apply the third spray during active fruit development for better fruit size, colour, and shelf life.
For soil drench or drip application, dilute the required dose in sufficient water and apply directly to the root zone during or after irrigation.
Always spray during early morning or late evening for best stomatal absorption and to avoid rapid evaporation.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply UPL Ortho Silicic Acid in the early morning or late evening. The most critical windows are at vegetative growth (for cell wall strengthening), pre-flowering (for flower and fruit set), and active fruit development — when silicon demand and crop response are highest.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply 2–3 times per season — at vegetative growth, pre-flowering, and fruit development stages. For crops under high stress pressure, applications every 15–20 days during the most critical growth phases give the strongest response.
Re-Entry Period: UPL Gainexa is non-toxic and safe for the environment. No strict re-entry restriction applies. Allow foliar spray to dry before re-entering the field.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Compatible with most insecticides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizers. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline solutions without testing first.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves and a face mask as a general precaution when measuring and applying UPL Gainexa.
Avoid contact with eyes — rinse immediately with clean water if contact occurs.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Keep away from children, livestock, food, and water sources.
For agricultural and gardening use only.
Dispose of empty containers per local agricultural waste guidelines.
