Zeolite based on Clinoptilolite 1/2.5 mm (Fertisoil) (pallet of 40 bags of 25 kg), soil conditioner for plants
ZEOLITE BASED ON CLINOPTILOLITE 1/2.5 mm (FERTISOIL) (pallet of 40 bags of 25 kg), SOIL FOR PLANTS.
IMPROVES SOIL STRUCTURE
INCREASE WATER CAPACITY
INCREASE NUTRITIONAL EFFICIENCY AND CATION EXCHANGE CAPACITY (CSC)
Fertisoil improves the physical characteristics of soils, both clayey and sandy. Fertisoil promotes aeration and reduces water stress and compaction problems. It ensures optimal root development, making plants healthier and stronger. It increases the porosity of the soil, avoiding water stagnation which causes rot, and stimulates the beneficial activity of fungi and bacteria in the soil.
ALLOWED IN ORGANIC FARMING.
MINERALOGICAL COMPOSITION
Clinoptilolite: 90% (±5%);
Silica: 7% (±2%);
Mica: 3% (±2%).
CHEMICAL - PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Grain size: 1-2.5 mm;
pH: 7.5% (± 0.5);
CSC: >150 m2/100g;
Specific density: 2.3 g/ml;
Volumetric density: 810 kg/m3.
CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Fertisoil is composed of 100% natural clinoptilolite, a hydrated aluminum silicate with a crystalline structure characterized by an open three-dimensional tetrahedral scaffold whose cavities can host water molecules and extra scaffold cations (Na+, K+, NH4+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Mg2+ etc. .) equipped with high mobility. Fertisoil can exchange mainly up to approximately 3% calcium (CaO) and 3% potassium (K2O).
SOIL STRUCTURE
The three-dimensional structure of the material, with open pores, allows for increased air circulation in the soil, reducing compaction. The grain size and porosity of the material also allow for better percolation of excess water. These characteristics make Fertisoil ideal for use in clayey soils.
REVERSIBLE HYDRATION
Water or soil solution is absorbed by the mineral (up to 40% of its volume) under normal conditions and is gradually released as the ambient temperature increases. During this process, the zeolite does not undergo structural changes, which is why the action lasts reversibly over time. These characteristics make Fertisoil ideal for use in generally sandy soils.
CSC AND EFFICIENCY IN THE USE OF NUTRIENTS
The internal surface of the Fertisoil pores is characterized by the presence of negative charges given by the Si/Al imbalance, which give the crystal the ability to adsorb and exchange cations (CSC) with the circulating solution. NH4+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ have a high adsorption affinity with Fertisoil. This allows these elements to be made available to the plant, avoiding volatilization, precipitation and leaching. Fertisoil therefore improves the efficiency in the use of nutrients, reducing their use.
RAW MATERIAL
Zeolitites only of natural origin and not chemically treated or enriched.
TREATMENT - DOSES - APPLICATION
Vineyard orchards - 50 q/ha - On new plants, use astoni/root cuttings in the hole before planting
on the row or in the open field - On existing plants, use organic fertilizers or the burial of plant residues between the rows, combining it with green manure
Herbaceous vegetables - 50 q/ha - Before sowing/transplanting, combining it with green manure, organic fertilization or the burial of plant residues;
In greenhouse - 10 q/1000 m2 - Before sowing/transplanting.
NB: AVAILABILITY OF THE MATERIAL
The material is subject to availability, it is usually taken directly from the manufacturer in the quarry and shipped to the customer in order to always have a clean product in excellent condition. We therefore ask our kind customers to check availability and delivery times by contacting Geosism & Nature sas
