Value demonstrated as a soil amendment
|
•Can Provide Up to 50% Water Savings
•Provides Increased Structural Porosity
•Creating abundant internal cavities for water molecules
•Holds approximately 30% of its weight in plant available water
•Adds Stable Mineral Properties
•Rigid structure not changed by (de)hydration
•Minerals do not decompose and lose water retention like organic soil amendments
•Provides Drainage Improvements
•Increases pore space within the root zone of soils with higher clay content
•Builds Soil Structure
•Improves Infiltration
•Promotes soil particle aggregation
•Reduces compaction/consolidation effects over time
|
•Is Cumulative
•Each application provides additional benefits
•Provides High Cation selectivity for Nitrogen (NH4+)and Potassium (K+)
•Controlled releases N and K into the root zone
•Reduces soluble N loss (leaching, runoff)
•Facilitates Phosphorus - Carbonate Binding
•Reduces soluble P loss (leaching, runoff)
•Increases P release from surrounding soil and facilitates uptake by plants
•Provides Micronutrients and Trace Elements
•Controlled releases essential micronutrients (ex. Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, etc.) in plant available form
•Replaces soil elements lost over time by erosion and plant uptake
•Contains no toxic metals or chemicals
