As Eri Maden, we offer natural minerals used to improve soil structure and increase productivity in agricultural production. Sepiolite, zeolite, bentonite and kaolin contribute to the sustainable use of agricultural lands with their soil conditioning properties.
Sepiolite
High Water Retention and Aeration Ability Sepiolite stands out as a soil conditioner with its lightweight and porous structure.
Benefits
It retains water for longer in arid regions, allowing water to stay in the soil for an extended period.
Its porous structure promotes soil aeration and supports root development.
It helps balance salt content in the soil, contributing to healthier plant growth.
Granule vs. Powder
Granule Sepiolite: Provides a longer-lasting effect and aids in the slow release of water. Powdered Sepiolite: Mixes more quickly, especially effective in small areas like potted plants.
Zeolite: A Natural Ion Exchanger
Zeolite creates a balance in the soil with its chemical composition.
Benefits
It absorbs excess ammonia and heavy metals in the soil, reducing toxic effects.
It increases the cation exchange capacity of the soil, enhancing fertilizer effectiveness.
Provides a slow-release nutrient source for plants.
Granule vs. Powder
Granule Zeolite: Offers long-term effects with controlled release. Powdered Zeolite: Quickly integrates into the soil and shows short-term effects.
Bentonite: A Natural Solution Strengthening the Physical Structure of the Soil
Bentonite regulates the soil with its high swelling capacity and clay structure.
Benefits
It helps retain water in the soil, improving yield in arid areas.
It binds soil particles together, preventing erosion.
It balances soil pH, regulating acidic soils.
Granule vs. Powder
Granule Bentonite: Provides controlled moisture release and long-term protection against erosion. Powdered Bentonite: Works quickly as a soil conditioner, especially suited for small areas.
Kaolin: Supporting Soil Structure and Plant Health
Kaolin is used for soil conditioning and plant protection due to its fine structure.
Benefits
Reduces compaction on the soil surface, allowing roots to grow more easily.
When applied to plant leaves, it reflects sunlight, protecting plants from heat stress.
It helps regulate soil moisture and promotes more active microorganisms.
Granule vs. Powder
Granule Kaolin: Used for long-term soil improvement.
Powdered Kaolin: Effective for leaf applications and areas that require quick results.
General Benefits of Soil Conditioning Minerals
Increases Efficiency: Enhances water retention and nutrient balance in the soil.
Prevents Erosion: Strengthens soil structure, increasing resilience to natural disasters.
Maintains pH Balance: Regulates the acidic or basic nature of the soil.
Supports Microbial Activity: Boosts the activity of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
