• Increases the capacity to retain nutrients (its cation exchange capacity reaches 220-400 meq/100g and is double that of bentonite).
• Reduces nutrient losses due to volatilization (nitrogen losses in the form of ammonia) or leaching (nitrites and nitrates) and helps reduce the amount of fertilizers used by 20-25%. It is recommended to add it during the composting of plant materials and animal manure, starting from the floors of stables.
• In combination with fertilization, it can help with the gradual release of nutrients so that there are no losses and plants are supplied for a longer period of time.
• Increases water retention capacity and its uniform distribution in the soil, especially in sandy soils (zeolite retains water in an amount equal to 42-50% of its weight, which it gradually releases to plants). Tiny water reservoirs are created throughout the field, which refill with each rainfall to supply water to the plants during drought periods.
• Increases the availability of phosphorus and potassium.
• Neutralizes the acidic components of the soil (raises the pH) and therefore there is no need to add other materials.
• Improves soil structure by reducing compaction and increasing aeration.
• It is a 100% natural product that can be used in organic farming.
• Its beneficial effects are permanent since it does not decompose like other soil conditioners.
• It has a low application cost when calculated annually for the entire period of benefit it offers.
• It combines excellently with Effective Microorganisms in many applications, enhancing their action.
