£8.44

A highly concentrated mono-silicic acid plant enhancer that improves nutrient utilisation, strengthens plant structure and helps crops cope with environmental stress at just 1.5ml per 10L.

Aptus Regulator is a concentrated nutrition manager and anti-stress plant enhancer designed to improve the way plants absorb and utilise the nutrients already present in their feeding programme. Aptus describes it as the cornerstone of its plant nutrition system because it works alongside other nutrients rather than simply adding another conventional fertiliser to the reservoir.

The formula combines mono-silicic acid with boron and molybdenum. Mono-silicic acid acts as an efficient nutrient transporter, while boron supports calcium uptake and fibre production. Molybdenum plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism and the movement of nitrogen from older leaves towards developing growth.

Regulator also supports stronger cell structure and a tougher epidermal layer, helping produce sturdier plants and thicker stems. This structural support can help crops cope with environmental stresses including heat, wind and drought, as well as salinity caused by nutrient salt accumulation.

Because Regulator is exceptionally concentrated, only a very small amount is required. The standard rate is 1.5ml per 10 litres of water, giving a 50ml bottle enough concentrate to treat approximately 333 litres.

Why choose Aptus Regulator?

  • Mono-silicic acid formula – provides silicon in mono-silicic acid form to act as a nutrient transporter.
  • Improves nutrient utilisation – designed to increase the uptake, absorption and utilisation of nutrients already available to the plant.
  • Supports stronger plant structure – encourages stronger cell structure, a tougher epidermal layer and thicker stems.
  • Helps crops handle environmental stress – supports resistance to abiotic stresses including high temperatures, wind and drought.
  • Supports natural plant resilience – stronger plant structure helps crops cope with biotic pressures from pests and pathogens.
  • Contains boron – supports calcium uptake and the production of plant fibres.
  • Contains molybdenum – contributes to nitrogen metabolism and movement within the plant.
  • Helps manage internodal spacing – Aptus uses Regulator to encourage more compact plant development where excessive stretching occurs.
  • Supports salinity tolerance – helps plants cope with stress associated with nutrient salt accumulation.
  • Reduces transpiration – helps reduce moisture loss through the leaves.
  • Extremely concentrated – the standard dose is only 1.5ml per 10L.
  • Excellent coverage – a 50ml bottle treats approximately 333L at the standard application rate.

What is Aptus Regulator suitable for?

Regulator is designed to work throughout the crop cycle as part of an ongoing nutrition programme. Unlike products aimed solely at rooting or flowering, its role is to support nutrient utilisation, plant structure and stress tolerance as new plant tissue develops.

It is particularly useful where growers want stronger stems, more compact development and better control of excessive internodal stretching. Aptus also recommends Regulator where environmental conditions such as heat, wind or drought place additional stress on the crop.

Regulator can also be useful where nutrient availability is present but uptake is less efficient than expected. Rather than simply increasing fertiliser concentration, its mono-silicic acid-based formulation is designed to improve the bioavailability and utilisation of the existing nutrient programme.

Aptus recommends maintaining a continuous supply because silicon deposited into plant cell membranes remains there, while newly developing cells still require an ongoing supply as the plant continues to grow.

How to use Aptus Regulator

Use 1.5ml of Aptus Regulator per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.15ml/L or a dilution of approximately 1:6660.

For 10L of water, use 1.5ml. For 50L, use 7.5ml. For 100L, use 15ml. For a 250L reservoir, use 37.5ml.

At the standard 0.15ml/L rate, a 50ml bottle treats approximately 333 litres of water.

Always add Regulator first. Fill the reservoir with clean water, add the measured quantity of Regulator and mix thoroughly until it is evenly dispersed. Only then add base nutrients, boosters or other compatible crop inputs.

Accurate measurement is important because Regulator is highly concentrated. For very small reservoirs, Aptus states that one drop is approximately 0.05ml. This means a 1L solution requires approximately 0.15ml, or 3 drops, at the standard rate.

Keep the concentrate clean. Do not allow water or dirt to enter the bottle and use only clean, dry syringes, pipettes or measuring equipment when dispensing Regulator.

Aptus Regulator FAQs

What is Aptus Regulator?

Aptus Regulator is a highly concentrated nutrition manager and anti-stress plant enhancer. It is designed to improve nutrient uptake and utilisation while supporting stronger plant structure and greater tolerance to environmental stress.

What does Aptus Regulator contain?

Regulator contains mono-silicic acid as its key nutrient-transport component, together with boron and molybdenum.

Is Aptus Regulator a silicon supplement?

Regulator contains silicon in the form of mono-silicic acid, but its role extends beyond simply supplying silicon. Aptus positions it as a nutrition manager that supports nutrient uptake, plant structure and resistance to environmental stress.

What does mono-silicic acid do in Aptus Regulator?

Aptus describes mono-silicic acid as a nutrient transporter. It supports the absorption and utilisation of other nutrients while contributing to stronger cell structure.

Why does Aptus Regulator contain boron?

Boron supports calcium uptake and stimulates the production of plant fibres, contributing to stronger structural development.

Why does Aptus Regulator contain molybdenum?

Molybdenum plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism. Aptus explains that it supports the movement of nitrogen from older lower leaves towards newer developing foliage when required.

How much Aptus Regulator should I use?

Use 1.5ml of Regulator per 10 litres of water. This is equivalent to 0.15ml/L or approximately a 1:6660 dilution.

How much Aptus Regulator do I need for 50 litres?

Use 7.5ml of Regulator for 50 litres of water at the standard application rate.

How much Aptus Regulator do I need for 100 litres?

Use 15ml of Regulator for a 100L reservoir.

How much water will 50ml of Aptus Regulator treat?

At the standard 0.15ml/L rate, a 50ml bottle treats approximately 333 litres.

Should Aptus Regulator be added before nutrients?

Yes. This mixing order is important. Add Regulator to a reservoir filled with clean water first and mix thoroughly. Add the base fertiliser, boosters and other compatible products afterwards.

Can Aptus Regulator be used at every feeding?

Yes. Aptus recommends maintaining a continuous supply of Regulator as plants develop because silicon already deposited within cell membranes remains there, while newly formed cells still require an ongoing supply.

Does Aptus Regulator help plants cope with heat?

Yes. Aptus specifically recommends Regulator to help plants cope with environmental stresses such as excessive heat. The standard application rate is suitable for this purpose.

Can Aptus Regulator help with nutrient deficiencies?

Regulator can help where nutrients are already present but their availability or utilisation is limiting plant performance. Aptus notes that it can often help correct nutrient deficiencies by making existing nutrients more bioavailable.

Does Aptus Regulator reduce plant stretching?

Regulator can help control excessive internodal spacing and encourage more compact plant development. Aptus identifies internode management as one of the practical uses of the product.

Does Aptus Regulator help with salt stress?

Yes. Aptus identifies improved resistance to salinity caused by nutrient salt build-up as one of the benefits of Regulator.

Does Aptus Regulator reduce water loss?

Aptus states that Regulator helps reduce transpiration, which means reducing moisture loss through the leaves.

How do I measure Aptus Regulator for a small reservoir?

Because Regulator is extremely concentrated, use a clean, dry syringe or pipette for accurate measurement. Aptus also gives approximately 0.05ml per drop as a guide, so 1 litre of water requires around 3 drops at the standard rate.
