Zeolite acts as a water and nitrogen trap allowing grasses and plants to access the water and nutrients they need when they require them due to the natural slow release of the structure. Zeolite conserves and releases both nitrogen and water. This means that plants benefit from access to more nitrogen over a longer period of time and require less water to grow. This two-fold effect requires no increased input of either fertilizer or increased irrigation. Multiple studies have shown that using Zeolite as a soil additive will decrease fertilizer and water usage with equal or better results. Numerous research efforts conducted worldwide have shown the benefit of zeolite in retaining water and fertilizer in a plant’s root zone. Zeolite acts as a water and nitrogen trap allowing grasses and plants to access the water and nutrients they need when they require them. This not only conserves one of our most valuable resources in increasing demand – water, but also reduces stress on grasses by providing a source of water over a longer period of time than typical soil conditions will provide. Zeolite is often called a molecular sieve. The molecular structure has a sponge-like framework of an aluminum and silica atoms, connected by oxygen atoms. This framework attracts and binds cations such as nitrogen, calcium and potassium. Zeolite holds water molecules in this open framework available to the plants as they require it.In addition to the water retention and time release, Zeolite traps molecules of ammonia (nitrogen). As with water, the ammonia is retained within the zeolite particle until demanded by a plant root system. 3 Creates healthier, greener lawns that will retain more nutrients and require up to 35% less water. Moisture Retention Zeolite acts as a reservoir for water and plant nutrients, holding the moisture in the growth zone. This reduces the amount of water needed for irrigation by up to 35%. Zeolite recharges itself from rainwater alone! Higher CEC Count Applying the recommended amount of zeolite increases the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC). A higher CEC count results in a greater loading of plant nutrients as required. Better Fertilizer Usage Because Zeolite is an environmentally friendly, non-chemical product which increases CEC, consumers benefit from a greater retention of valuable fertilizer when spreading highly soluble ammonium. The Benefits • Increased effectiveness of fertilizers – zeolite holds and gently releases the nitrates and potassium in your fertilizer. • Aids in neutralization of the pH in your soil to repair damaged grass. • Prevents compaction of the soil. • Helps aeration of the deep roots systems. • Reduced irrigation rates. • Increases re-sod rates and vegetation turnover. • Zeolite does not decompose – it continues to work as long as it is present in the soil or turf. Produces delicious, nutrient rich fruits & vegetables and vibrant flowers & plants in gardens and potting mixes. Prevents and repairs damaging burns caused by pet urine and chemical spills. SOIL AMENDMENT 4 Conclusion Zeolite is a 100% organic (OMRI certified), soil and fertilizer enhancer that increases water retention, reduces run-off, leaching and evaporation. It enhances seed germination and sprout emergence, promotes root extension and root mass while creating a semi-permeable barrier in the root zone, and also adds to the soils aeration by preventing compaction of the soil. In the end, zeolite will give you tastier tomatoes, greener grass and brighter flowers using less water and retaining more nutrients. Zeolite will also prevent and repair grass burns from ammonia exposure. The science behind zeolite’s effectiveness is its ability to attract water and positively charged nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous and ammonia, trap them in its honeycomb structure and release them as the plant root requires them. Evapotranspiration is the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration (movement of water within a plant and subsequent loss through stomata). The zeolite granule reduces the grass’ reliance on evapotranspiration, which is useful both in arid climates as well as those with a high water table as it provides a more stable supply for the plant. Zeolite’s unique properties help regulate the grass’ access to water and nutrients which makes it less sensitive to irrigation, be it too much or too little moisture added to the plants. Zeolite is developed from a negatively charged volcanic mineral and retains 50% of its weight in water and nutrients, which would otherwise be lost due to run-off. Once the concentration of water and nutrients in the soil becomes less than that of the saturated Zeolite mineral, the plant root goes in search of water and nutrients. Zeolite slowly releases them back into the soil making them available for the root; resulting in a healthier plant requiring significantly less water, fertilization and time. Zeolite works on potted plants, floral gardens, vegetable gardens, trees & shrubs, compost and turf-grass seeding, repair, aeration, sod installation, new landscaping, top soil amendment and urine spots.
