AZOMITE® trace minerals have been shown to improve root systems, yields and general plant health in a variety of field crops. AZOMITE® remineralizes nutrient-depleted soils.
Products Available
Micronized -
Ultra-fine powder (-200 mesh) excellent for coating seeds for maximum
germination and initial growth. Good amendment for crops, compost and
potting soil. (OMRI Listed)
Slow-Release -
Particle sizes ranging from 1/8” to powder for both rapid and
longer-term results. Designed for composting and mixing/blending with
other products to apply to soils. This product produces substantial
dust when applied with a broadcast spreader.
Granulated -
Slow-Release agglomerated into easy to handle and apply granules with
only a modest amount of dust. Moisture immediately breaks down granules
and can be applied with a broadcast spreader.
The “father of fertilizer”, Justus von Liebig, developed the “Law of the Minimum” which is important in understanding what AZOMITE®
does. The Law states that plant growth is determined by the scarcest,
“limiting” nutrient; if even one of the many required nutrients is
deficient, the plant will not grow and produce at its optimum.
Conventional fertilizer programs focus on macro-nutrients like Nitrogen
(N), Phosphorous (p) and Potassium (K). However, if one of the many
essential trace elements is deficient in the soil, the plant will not perform at its optimum, affecting yield and immune function. AZOMITE®
contains rare and abundant trace elements present in volcanic ash in
addition to rich minerals present in rivers – a unique combination found
nowhere else on Earth.
Application Guidelines
Generally,
apply 75 - 150 pounds per acre initially, followed by an annual
maintenance level of half the original application. Titration studies
report more AZOMITE®
is better. While not justified for most field crops, certain high value
crops may warrant initial application up to 2 tons per acre.
