SOIL AMENDMENT USING NATURAL ZEOLITE

The paper presents the effects of zeolite clinoptilolite applied on agricultural soils on the physical and chemical soil features. Zeolites are one of the few nanotechnologies that have been investigated for environmental remediation purposes. Because of their ion exchange Properties, and the fact that they are a seemingly natural product that can bring Certain improvements (such as increasing the soil cation-exchange

capacity and soil Moisture, improving hydraulic conductivity, increasing yields in acidified soils, and Reducing plant uptake of metal contaminants) to soil properties. Unlike other soil amendments (e.g. lime) zeolite does not break down over time but remains in the soil to improve nutrient retention. Therefore, its addition to soil will significantly reduce water and fertilizer costs by retaining beneficial nutrients in the root zone.
