Sio2 is not water soluble , hence you have to convert it into silicic acid or sodium or calcium or potassium silicate before foliar applications.

Thank you, Dr. Paul Milham, Tarek Y S Kapiel, Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh, Kavana G. B for your time and effort to respond my question.

Your answers are appreciated, however, I have inferred that my question didn't exactly clarify what I am looking for.

I plan to use calcium silicate fertilizer as a foliar application. And I am wondering how can I dissolve it???

Regards,
Hend

SiO2 applied as a root feed or as a foliar spray. Plants can absorb much more through foliar feeding than just absorption through the root zone. Silica is also known to prevent powdery mildew when used as a foliar spray.See the link; https://www.maximumyield.com/simply-silica/2/1077

Silicates are very sparingly soluble so the answer is that you can't dissolve any appreciable amount
