Abstract/Contents: | Discusses zeolites and their potential role in treating soils with high sand contents and thus poor nutrient and moisture retention. Includes specifics on the naturally occurring minerals detailing their origin, composition, charge, structure, early use in horticulture and stockfeeds and current use in the sports turf industry. Relates results from research concerning zeolites and their effect on soil leaching, frequency of fertilizer applications and soil physical properties. |
