Lower Environmental Additives for Golfing and Agronomy
Zeolite Clinoptilolite® How can zeolite lower the environmental impact of golfing and agronomy? It all comes down to the natural cage-like structure and high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the mineral. This cage structure absorbs water molecules, increasing the water retention capacity of the soil. The high CEC allows nutrients from fertilisers to be retained within the soil, reducing fertiliser…
