Clinoptilolite Zeolite Large Granular

Description

Zeolite – A highly porous mineral with a strong ability to hold ammonium and other nutrient ions due to it’s high cation-exchange-capacity. It can act as a small nutrient reservoir, helping reduce nutrients being immediately washed out while also contributing to aeration and drainage. We get zeolite locally from a mine here in Idaho that is said to have the purest Clinoptilolite Zeolite in the world. Here are some of the more specific benefits of zeolite:

• Approximately 3.5% potassium, a plant nutrient

• Approximately 2.02% calcium, a pH buffer for animals and soils

• Less than 0.5% non-water soluble sodium, a toxin to plants

• No significant concentrations of water soluble toxic trace elements

• Low clay content, making it hard and resistant to attrition

• High CEC (cation exchange capacity) that allows loading of approximately 2.2% nitrogen

• A large surface area of approximately 24.9 square meters per gram.
