GSA Resources, Inc. zeolites are naturally occurring minerals possessing unique properties beneficial to the professional and amateur grower. GSA zeolites improve your soils structure by coupling high cation exchange capacity (C.E.C.) with a selective affinity for ammonium and potassium.
By way of these properties, GSA zeolites can reduce nutrient loss due to leaching by increasing the retention of these nutrients and slowly releasing them as needed by the soil and plants. Increasing the C.E.C of the growing media and in particular, the selective form of the C.E.C. has a direct bearing upon nutrient retention. This effect is most evident in sandy soil where it can provide the plant population with a more efficient and uniform supply of these nutrients.
The selectivity of GSA zeolites for ammonium can help buffer the soil and in part can prevent toxicity which might otherwise occur when excess ammonium is applied. This property may allow the grower to use this less costly form of nitrogen in larger, less frequent applications during the growing season. The retention and timely release of needed nutrients by these natural zeolites can create improvements in foliage and blossom count, which may relate directly to overall crop yield.
GSA zeolites can improve some of the characteristics of the growing media. The initial quality and texture of the growing media, the fertilization, and the amount of zeolite determine the degree of this improvement. This unique mineral has other diversified uses for which the following Web Pages are available:
