Using Natural Zeolite for Plant Nutrition.

The zeolite clinoptilolite releases its natural nutritional elements into soil, via ion exchange, which then enrich the soil. Crucially it also, for very long periods, maintains cation exchange and therefore the ability of the land to produce excellent crops.

Natural Zeolite for Soil Improvement

Natural Zeolite is an excellent soil improver due to its high cation exchange capacity, superb water retention abilities and adsorption properties. In scientific research it has been found that yield increases of between 5.8% and 14.14 % occur in crops grown in soil in which zeolite clinoptilolite is added. Potato, corn and wheat were used in these trials. Zeolite clinoptilolite not only improved the water regime of the soil, but also prevented the washing away of the much needed nutritional elements, vital for growth, in soil with a low cation exchange capacity.

Positive Effects Of Natural Zeolite When Used With Fertiliser

Natural Zeolite can be used in soil as an ionic fertiliser additive, via translocation with the nutritional ammonium and potassium ions. Also, the most important macro nutritional elements- potassium and nitrogen, and the most important micro elements- iron, copper, manganese and zinc, can be delivered very effectively by means of Natural Zeolite.

Natural Zeolite prevents root rot in plants.

Nitrogen fertilizer is normally lost in soil by washing and NH3 gas. Natural Zeolite prevents this happening!

Natural Zeolite can be used as an excellent slow-releasing fertilizer additive that provide nitrogen (N) and potassium (K).

It also absorbs and binds NH4 into its porous channels. By doing this it prevents the soil from becoming toxic and also reduces ammonium poisoning.

Zeolite-Clinoptilolite Soil Amendment for Golf Courses and Sports Turfs

Natural Zeolite-clinoptilolite soil amendment that improves the properties of soil and supports turf growth. With its high cation exchange capacity, superb water retention abilities and absorption properties, Natural Zeolite Turf not only improves the water regime of the soil, but also prevents the wash-off of the essential micro- and macro-nutrients.

Use for sports turfs, golf greens, tees and fairways, landscaping, horticultural crops, lawns and gardens, etc.

Particularly effective, when mixed into sandy and coarse-textured soils.

Natural Zeolite can be used as an excellent slow-release fertilizer additive that provides an efficient management of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulfur (S).

Application

1. New Constructions

The minimum application rate is 5% by volume; however, the best results will be achieved at rates of 10-20%.  Natural Zeolite should be mixed with sand prior to the application.

2. Existing Sports Turfs

Best results will be achieved when Natural Zeolite is incorporated in the root zone at a rate of 100-500 kg per 100 m2.
