The production of organic products using the least amount of chemicals materials and toxins will increase public health. Zeoptas (potassium clinoptiliolite zeolite) has unique capabilities including high absorbable potassium for the plant, high specific surface area, high cation exchange capacity is very useful in achieving this goal.
The most important issue in the production of healthy agricultural products is to maintain the natural balance and not to use substances that upset this balance. zooptas is a completely natural substance with main and micro nutrients elements as well as its unique properties could successfully help to maintance of this balance.
Soil nutrient deficiencies due to excessive use in a short time, create an urgent and constant need for natural and chemical fertilizers. Unsuitable texture of the soil under cultivation and soil erosion and scarcity is always one of the main concerns of agriculture. Soil salinization and pollution is one of another important problems for today agriculture.
Applying zeopotas in soils, both in light and heavy soils, improves soil properties. Addition of zeopotas to light sandy soils reduces excessive water infiltration and vertical distribution. Zeopotas retains the necessary materials for plant growth like water and nutrients elements in its cavities and using high cation exchange capacity.
Today, the use of chemical and natural fertilizers to enhance the soil fertility and increase agricultural products is inevitable. However, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and their severe washing, in addition to imposing high costs, will cause contamination of soil and water resources and even agricultural products. Zeoptas due to its unique properties such as high cation exchange capacity, high specific surface area, high potassium content and porous structure could decrease need for using fertilizer with improvement fertilizer washing as well as supplying some nutrient elements.
One of the major challenges in agriculture is the supply of safe and sufficient water resources. Today, various solutions have been considered to deal with this issue. Zeopotas due to the presence of cavities and channels in its structure for absorb moisture and also the surface adsorption of some anions as well as high cation exchange capacity and adsorption of various pollutants could be very effective in this field.
Due to the fact that more than 40% of agricultural products are destroyed by factors such as pests, diseases and weeds, today the use of chemical pesticides in agriculture is inevitable. Leaching toxins in soils, while imposing additional costs, pollutes water and soil resources even agricultural products. Therefore reducing their consumption is one of the most important issues to produce healthier and more economical products. Zeopotas with pores and cavities in its structure as well as surficial adsorption and cation exchange capacity has a unique ability to prevent the leaching of these toxins.
