Micronized natural calcite mineral was employed as a plant booster and mineral fertilizer in the production of wheat. The controlled study has shown that a single foliar treatment of wheat with 2% aqueous Suspension in the amount of 1.5 kg/ha significantly increased Stalk strength. The crop yield was slightly increased, by about 5.8%, in comparison […]

The deteriorating soil fertility can be countered by zeolite clinoptilolite natural minerals. Zeolite has the capacity to bind nutrients delivered by fertilizer application or put another way, zeolite has the capacity to preserve fertilizer. Plant roots progressively assimilate the bound nutrients. Zeolite usage results in fertilizer cost savings. It should be kept in mind that […]
