BioActive Magnet™ is a high quality clinoptilolite processed from volcanic material that also contains potassium and magnesium nutrients. BioActive Magnet™ increases nutrient retention and reduces fertilizer requirements in the root zone by increasing the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and establishing a sustainable, balanced nutrient supply. The attached nutrients in BioActive Magnet™ attract soil microbes which use the substrate to feed on, and high microbial populations are rapidly established. BioActive Magnet™ is ideal for use in combination with Compost Tea. Moisture retention is also increased because of the porous structure of the material. BioActive Magnet™ maintains and improves the ability of the root zone to drain, provide aeration and to withstand intense traffic.
BioActive Magnet™, applied either by top dressing to existing turf grass surfaces, or used as an amendment on new constructions, has the following benefits;
- Helps to establish soil microbe populations
- Absorption of soluble nitrogen and potassium leads to reduced leaching of key nutrients into waterways
- A high ion-exchange capability helps to save on fertilizer costs
- Porous granules increase soil aeration resulting in healthier turf
- Improves seed germination rates
- Robust granules resist soil compaction
In addition, the use of BioActive Magnet™ as a perch layer on top of course backfill when installing drainage systems will minimise the loss of nutrients to ground water, helping to reduce nitrogen pollution and eutrophication.
