Zeolite for plants
Why zeolite for our vegetable plants?
It's all about the micronutrients in our food.
I know it's really bad, but organic doesn't mean that the plants were "fed" with many trace elements, and it therefore doesn't mean that they nourish us well. And these micronutrients develop in the plant all the more, the more good the plant has absorbed. Our scientists attribute this to good, very fine zeolite. It has many minerals and therefore nutrients that the plant needs to bring out the best in itself.
STEINKRAFT Zeolite for plants
At Steinkraft, we are very happy to support that. Steinkraft zeolite is ground so finely that the roots can absorb it well. And it can be used well by the microorganisms in the soil.
→ A comprehensive overview of scientific studies on the effect of zeolite in garden soil can be found in this study overview.
→ In addition to soil structure, the storage of plant nutrients plays a central role for fertile garden soils. This article shows exactly how zeolite can help bind nutrients in the soil and make them available to plants.
→ If you want to use zeolite in your own garden, you can find more information about application and products on the page Zeolite for garden and soil improvement .
Calcium and zeolite for plants as foliar fertilizer
And yes, our foliar fertilizer is a perfect calcium supply and is so fine that it can be absorbed through the stomata and is optimally available to the plant. Please spray the plants early, preferably at the 4-leaf stage, so that they are more resistant and vital right from the start.

Why do we recommend applying zeolite together with lime to plant leaves? *****
Lime is the nutrient for 90% of all bacteria, all micro-organisms, and all vegetation in general. It is important to use tribomechanically micronized lime. The plant's receptors can absorb it better. Through pulverization, the lime becomes just what it needs to be absorbed.
You have to imagine it like this: You can eat a hamburger because your mouth and the hamburger size fit together. 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, certainly not. So: The lime that is sometimes conventionally spread on the field is on the field, is chemically detectable, but is not available to the plants because it is too coarse.
The most important thing is that I break down the particle size so that it is available to the plant, i.e. I have to get below a size of 10 microns. In the combination of lime AND zeolite, I have an optimal prerequisite to support the plant (on the leaf and in the leaf). The lime can be absorbed via the stomata AND also directly via 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 turn dark green. They are supplied with nitrogen from a natural source in the atmosphere.
Another effect is a mechanical one: The silicate particles look like tiny shards of glass and they don't change and remain on the leaf surface. And they have a very nice side effect: All insects that have tactile organs in their legs find this unpleasant and will therefore keep their distance from the plant because it is unpleasant. Here we have a repellent through a physical process. And the second effect of silicate is that the particles are sometimes so fine that they disturb and block the respiratory organs of unwanted insects, i.e., mites, aphids. These do not like silicate because it attacks their gills. We have many insects that detect the foliar fertilizer as a repellent.
Zeolite and lime contain many trace elements. It is always important to look for a zeolite quarry that naturally contains many trace elements. With this overall package, we stimulate metabolism, activate defenses, thereby stimulating the immune system, keeping away diseases and insects, and increasing yield.
Our GRÜNKRAFT product line contains 10 percent zeolite. And that makes a big difference! The zeolite particles can capture the sun's rays more strongly on the leaf, thus contributing to a more active photosynthesis. Herbs and vegetables become more powerful and resistant. Zeolite supports the plant in self-regulation. We thus "feed" our food. What we then eat has more basic energy!
Summary:
"With zeolite and calcium as a foliar fertilizer, the plant has optimal support and supply. It should be noted that calcium and zeolite are electrostatically charged through the tribomechanical grinding process and have a grain size of less than 10 microns."
Dr. Peter Ost answered this question precisely. Thank you very much for that.

Mr. Ruhdorfer told me that in 2 years we will go shopping with a device that can measure the micronutrients of fruits and vegetables.
Honestly? I'm looking forward to that. Exactly my thing.

In the realization "food is medicine", a hospital in Boston is building an organic farm on its roof. This supplies patients, staff, and those in need with over 3000kg of vegetables per year. We think this is wonderful and makes us happy.
