Glauconite in agriculture
Glauconite is a meliorant, which is a natural mineral complex. Glauconite is highly versatile with a variety of beneficial properties for organic farming.
The use of glauconite as a chlorine-free potassium and phosphorus fertilizer, increases yield volumes and their quality, leading in turn to increased profits. With its unique composition and properties, glauconite can be used for the reclamation and restoration of agricultural lands.
Glauconite reduces the cost of restoring the fertile layer of sown fields and pastures, makes the process quick and easy, and improves the quality of the soil. Regulates soil composition, structure, acidity and microflora, neutralizes dangerous compounds and prevents them from entering the food chain.

· Rapid growth of herbs, grasses, fodder crops.
· Prolonged action from 3 to 5 years.
· Cleanliness of soil, surface and waste water, prevention of toxin accumulation.
· Reduced planting material costs by increasing germinating capacity.
· Easy and rapid remediation of contaminated and anthropogenic impacted soils.
· Reproduction and activity of fertile soil microflora.
· Improves plant root system aeration and ventilation.
· Increased water holding capacity and favourable soil pH. Glauconite as a reservoir accumulates water up to 40–70% of its own weight and transfers it to plants, without making the soil dirty, wet or boggy.
· Improves the structure and permeability of soil, the storability of fodder crops, the germination of all kinds of fodder crops, and the nutritive value of fodder.
· 20–40% increase in the effectiveness of mineral and organic fertilizers. Glauconite accumulates fertilizers in its branched structure until the plant roots absorb them, and prevents the leaching of potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen and iron.
