NutriZorb is a natural, hydrated Phillipsite-Chabazite mineral of volcanic origin, supplied in three grades to suit the application.
NutriZorb supports soil biology by providing a “protective matrix” and a source of nutrients, firms up soft surfaces and slowly releases nutrients to suit turf growth.
NutriZorb does not break down as easily as clinoptolite zeolite.
Application
For new rootzones / growing media: Mix at a 0.5 kg to 1 kg per 1 tonne of rootzone
To absorb water in existing rootzones: Apply to top 4-5 cm at 5-10 tonnes/ hectare.
To increase CEC: Min. 1 tonne/ hectare, after “microtining”. Overdose impossible.
Packing: Big bags and plastic sacks on pallets or loose in tipper trucks.
Storage: Store in dry conditions in well-closed bags.
