Zeolite for plants
Why zeolite for our vegetable plants?
It depends on the micronutrients that are in our food.
I know it's awful, but organic doesn't automatically mean the plants were "fed" with lots of trace elements, and therefore it doesn't mean they're good for us. And these micronutrients are produced in the plant in greater quantities the more beneficial substances it has consumed. Our scientists attribute this to high-quality, very fine zeolite. It contains many minerals and therefore nutrients that the plant needs to produce its best.
STEINKRAFT Zeolite for plants
We at Steinkraft are happy to support you in this. Steinkraft Zeolite is ground so finely that the roots can easily absorb it and it can be readily used by microorganisms in the soil.
Calcium and zeolite for plants as foliar fertilizer
And yes, our foliar fertilizer provides perfect calcium and is so finely granulated that it can be absorbed through the stomata, making it optimally available to the plant. Please spray the plants early, ideally when they have four leaves, so they are more resilient and vigorous from the start.

Why do we recommend applying zeolite and lime together to the leaves of plants? *****
Lime is a nutrient for 90% of all bacteria, all microorganisms, and indeed all vegetation. It is important to use tribomechanically micronized lime. Plant receptors can absorb it more effectively. This micronization process ensures the lime is in the form the plant needs to absorb it.
Imagine it like this: You can eat a hamburger because your mouth and the size of the hamburger are roughly compatible. But if you had a hamburger the size of a football, it wouldn't be possible to eat it. And if it were a meter long, it certainly wouldn't be. So, the lime that is sometimes traditionally spread on fields is present in the field, chemically detectable, but unavailable to the plants because it is too coarse.
The most important thing is to reduce the particle size so that it's available to the plant; that is, I need to get below 10 microns. The combination of lime and zeolite provides optimal support for the plant (both on and within the leaves). The lime can be absorbed through the stomata and also 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 leaf. This is also the reason why the leaves develop a dark green color. They are supplied with nitrogen naturally from the atmosphere.
Another effect is mechanical : The silicate particles look like tiny shards of glass, and they don't change, remaining on the leaf surface. This has a very useful side effect: All insects with sensory organs in their legs find this unpleasant and will therefore keep their distance from the plant. Here we have a repellent through a physical process. The second effect of the silicate is that the particles are sometimes so fine that they disrupt and block the respiratory organs of unwanted insects, such as mites and aphids. These insects dislike the silicate because it irritates their gills. We have observed that many insects recognize the foliar fertilizer as a repellent.
Zeolite and limestone contain a high number of trace elements . It's always important to look for a zeolite quarry that naturally contains many of these trace elements. This combination stimulates metabolism, activates the body's defenses, boosts the immune system, helps keep diseases and insects away, and increases yields.
Our GRÜNKRAFT product line contains 10 percent zeolite. And that makes a big difference! The zeolite particles capture sunlight more effectively on the leaves, thus contributing to more active photosynthesis. Herbs and vegetables become more vigorous and resilient. Zeolite supports the plant's self-regulation. We are essentially "feeding" our food. What we then eat has more basic energy !
Summary:
"With zeolite and calcium as a foliar fertilizer, the plant receives optimal support and supply. It should be noted that the calcium and zeolite are electrostatically charged due to the tribomechanical milling process and have a particle size of less than 10 microns."
Dr. Peter Ost answered this question for us in detail. Thank you so much for that.

Mr. Ruhdorfer told me that in two years we will be able to go shopping with a device that can measure the micronutrients in fruits and vegetables.
Honestly? I'm looking forward to it. It's right up my alley.

Recognizing that "food is medicine," a hospital in Boston has built an organic farm on its roof. This provides patients, staff, and those in need with over 3,000 kg of vegetables annually. We think that's wonderful and it makes us happy.
