Zeolite in agriculture and soil care
Implementing zeolite-based solutions with high cation exchange capacity and water adsorption is a great alternative to reduce the environmental impact of fertilizers and bring us closer to sustainable agriculture.
- It can retain and release essential nutrients
- Reduction of water use by up to 30%
- Lower pollution of the soil and nearby water bodies
Zeolite can be used for the following applications:
Smart fertilizer
The use of zeolites in agriculture can increase crop yields while reducing environmental impact.
- It tetains fertilizers in the rooting zone
- Preventing leaching and volatilization of fertilizers
- Reduces use of fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides
- It retains moisture Less irrigation, more savings
- Improving the soil’s ability to retain nutrients
- Balancing soil pH
Taking advantage of unique properties
Since zeolite is a porous mineral, it acts as a temporary reservoir for water, promoting soil moisture stability and crop yields.
- It can retain and release essential plant nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, in the range of 50% to 80%.
- It improves soil moisture retention by 10% to 20%.
- It reduces nutrient leaching and groundwater contamination by 50% to 70%
