The ability of SafetySorb™ Zeolite
to load with up to 3.0% nitrogen in the form of ammonium makes it
excellent for fertilizer applications. As the most important
components for plant health and growth,
SafetySorb™ Zeolite holds these
elements of fertilizer in its crystalline structure until the plant
root seeks them to satisfy plant root needs. The nitrogen held is not
water-soluble and is not affected by rain even over long time periods.
Thus, much less fertilizer is used as compared to application without
SafetySorb™ Zeolite, and less fertilizer components without
SafetySorb™ Zeolite, and less fertilizer components, particularly nitrates, enter
the local water supply during runoff. In typical nitrogen fertilizer
applications, as much as 35% of the nitrogen leaches out below the
growth zone and reports to the aquifer to create nitrite and nitrate
contamination.
SafetySorb™ Zeolite contains approximately 3.47%
potassium, 1.6% calcium and .4% sodium. Additionally it contains
additional micro units of zinc, iron and copper, all of which are
important nutrients in fertilizers. The
SafetySorb™ Zeolite holds over 60% of its weight in
water that protects the plant against drought. The absorption capacity also provides improved
soil aeration for deep rooting, improved pesticide retention and
significant odor control in odoriferous areas. The green color of the
product provides natural beauty to your landscape or around individual
plants where it is utilized. For potting plants a ratio of
10-30% of
SafetySorb™ Zeolite to the potting soil is recommended. For
landscape use or high value crop farming, a mixture of 1-2 tons per
acre is usually sufficient to achieve significant improvement in
performance.
SafetySorb™ Zeolites have been successfully used for turf
areas like golf courses, sport fields, parks and common areas.
