Zeoplant: The unique properties of this mineral (high porosity, high cation exchange capacity and unique structure) and its certain selectivity is what makes the zeolite one the most effective industrial minerals for application in the agricultural industry.
Zeolite ( clinoptilolite ) improve soil chemistry with the following effects:
- improves fertilizer recovery and results lower fertilizer addition
- provides a selective ability for collection of ammonium, potassium and trace elements.
- in case of nitrogen leaching, zeolite holds significant amounts of runoff and prevents pollution by nitrates and nitrites
- adjusts pH to neutral figure and increases the substrate’s buffer capacity
- helps for protection of the groundwater contamination by NO3 - ions
- reduces the potential salt toxicity
- serves as a buffer media in the physical properties of the soil
