CROP YIELD IMPROVEMENT
The use of natural zeolite may come to good almost in all kinds of the soil and increase the yield of many cultivated crops by 10 to 30 percent.
After natural zeolite was introduced increased harvests mat occur for 3 or for years and longer.
Even 7 year later since zeolite was introduced into the soil its adsorption and cation-exchange properties do not change.
In plant breeding natural zeolite is extremely useful. It increases water-holding capacity of light soils.
When introduced together with fertilizers it will absorb a part of fertilizers into its pores and canals, retain them from washing out into ground water, prevent them from evaporation into the atmosphere, and then gradually will deliver them to plants.
Thus, zeolite will reduce fertilizer and water consumption in the course of watering and cut down the nitrate content in vegetables and fruits and the degree of ground water pollution.
The use of natural zeolite will allow to increase the amount of vitamin C and improve the amino-acid composition of fruits and vegetables.
The level of total sugar and dry substances will be increased while acidity and quantity of nitrate nitrogen will be reduced in their biochemical composition.
The experience in growing sprouts has shown that germination of hyacinth, grenadine, tulip and other seeds improves and the growth of all plant systems accelerates.
The use of natural zeolite reduces the need in frequent watering, saving water expenses.
