The special thing about these clay minerals is the combination of their shape and composition. They consist of many thin plates. The result is that they have a very large surface area per unit of weight. For the Bentonite clay mineral, this can amount to 800 m2 per gram, in comparison the most common clay mineral in the Netherlands (Illite) has a maximum of 150 m2 per gram. In addition, the clay minerals are electrically charged at the edges as a result of their chemical composition. This charge is always neutralized in the soil by ions. This means that clay minerals have a high ion-binding capacity. Because of these properties, clay minerals can play an important role in soil fertility. The high adsorption (binding) capacity of clay minerals has an important function. Clay minerals ensure that many ions (K, Ca, Mg, Na, NH4) and trace elements are bound and are only released when the concentration of one of these elements in the soil decreases. In this way, clay minerals ensure a constant supply of all kinds of nutrients. Nitrates are not directly bound by clay minerals, but due to the improved structure of the soil, there is less chance of nitrate leaching. Product specifications Clay minerals Edasil - 3kg - 3 kg Article description Clay minerals Edasil - 3kg Article number 8717677721177 Version 3 kg Country of origin Netherlands Uitleg_EM_agriton_systeem_voor_een_gezonde_bodem.pdf Clay minerals are clay granules (2 to 5 mm in size) for improving the CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) and soil fertility. They contain trace elements and are mined in mines in southern Germany. These clay particles play a very important role in soil fertility. They can regulate the moisture in the soil very well. Furthermore, they ensure that the indispensable trace elements, such as zinc, copper and manganese, are bound and released again when there is a shortage of these elements. Clay minerals, together with micro-organisms, organic material and even grains of sand, form an indispensable soil substance - namely the "clay humus complex" (KHC). The clay humus complex ensures, among other things; pH buffering, regulation of phosphate and sulphate, the exchange of nutrients for the plants and even moisture, air and heat management in the soil. Edasil has a pH (acidity) of 7-8, contains 6-8% moisture and can absorb up to 135% water. Benefits Capacity to drain and retain water (absorption and capillary rise) Improve soil fertility and organic matter Improves soil structure Economical to use Easy to apply yourself Consumption Dosage: distribute 10kg Edasil clay minerals per 100 m² per year Can be spread all year round. Preferably in February/March/April. Can be spread together with the Seashell Lime (see tab 'Matching articles').
