High-quality zeolite is increasingly used in agriculture.
Where exactly is zeolite used? And what beneficial properties does this mineral powder contain?
In liquid manure and dung, Steinkraft zeolite accelerates decomposition and reduces nitrogen losses in farmyard manure.
Zeolite bedding in horse or cow stables binds odors and moisture, and manure is converted into a high-quality organic activator for further use in soils.

This not only makes farmers happy, but also horse owners. And last but not least, the animals!
Our horse expert also gives helpful application tips in the video:

High-quality minerals, such as zeolite for plants and soils – more necessary than ever!
Spraying crop and vegetable fields, as well as orchards, naturally promotes plant growth and quality. This means higher yields, higher quality, less water consumption, and a shorter time to harvest.
When applied to soils, Steinkraft zeolite products retain moisture and release exactly the amount of water needed when needed. At the same time, the minerals add nutrients to the soil, creating a climate that encourages beneficial microorganisms to thrive and make the soil more fertile.
Zeolite from STEINKRAFT is 100% vegan and natural. In agriculture, where new regulations and laws regularly prohibit the use of artificial aids, Steinkraft zeolite products offer a natural alternative!
Why do you recommend applying zeolite and lime to the leaf together?
Lime is the nutrient for 90% of all bacteria, all microorganisms, and all vegetation. It's important to use tribomechanically micronized lime. The plant's receptors can absorb it more easily. Crushing the lime makes it the way the plant needs it, so it can absorb it.
Imagine it like this: You can eat a hamburger because your mouth and the hamburger's size roughly match. But if you had a hamburger the size of a football, it wouldn't be possible to eat it. And if it were 1 meter tall, it certainly wouldn't be possible. So: The lime that is sometimes traditionally spread on fields is present in the field, is chemically detectable, but is unavailable to the plants because it's too coarse.
The most important thing is that I reduce the particle size to a size that is accessible to the plant, meaning I need to get below 10 microns. The combination of lime AND zeolite provides optimal conditions for supporting the plant (both on the leaf and within the leaf). The lime can be absorbed through the stomata AND directly through the leaf surface cells.
Another effect: Calcite and zeolite on the leaf surface stimulate microorganisms . These can absorb ammonia from the atmosphere and make it available to the leaves. This is also the reason why the leaves take on a dark green color. They are supplied with nitrogen from natural nitrogen in the atmosphere.
Another effect is mechanical : the silicate particles look like small pieces of glass and do not change, remaining on the leaf surface. And they have a very nice side effect: all insects that have sensory organs in their legs find this unpleasant and will therefore stay away from the plant because it is unpleasant. We have a repellent here through a physical process. And the second effect of the silicate is that some of the particles are so fine that they disrupt and block the respiratory organs of unwanted insects, such as mites and aphids. These insects do not like the silicate because it attacks their gills. We have many insects that find foliar fertilizer a repellent.
Zeolite and lime contain a high concentration of trace elements . It's always important to look for a zeolite quarry that already contains many trace elements. With this complete package, we stimulate the metabolism, activate the body's defenses, and thus boost the immune system, thus keeping diseases and insects at bay and increasing yields.
Summary:
Zeolite and calcium as foliar fertilizers provide optimal support and nutrition for the plant. It should be noted that calcium and zeolite are electrostatically charged due to the tribomechanical milling process and have a grain size of less than 10 microns.
