Zeolite is a mineral of volcanic origin, that originates when incandescent lava meets brackish water. Thanks to its structure made of very small microporous particles, it is useful in many fields of application.

Its primary ability is to exchange elements, retaining and releasing them according to the needs of the surrounding environment, in the presence of water.

This ability, called cation exchange capacity, applies in all situations in which it is used, therefore it is used in agriculture as an element that retains the nutrients within the soil and makes them available to the roots of the plants—helping their nutrition. This supports the use of natural products while making everything that is already naturally present in the available soil.

Zeolite can also be used on plants directly in finely ground powder (micronized) as a repellent agent for insects and fungal pathogens that damage the leaf systems, fruits and foliage.
