Austrablend Multi Mineral Root Zone Conditioner (ABMMRZC)

"The soils of the Middle East are dominantly coarse textured and prone to high losses of fertilizer, nutrients and water whether in urban landscapes or in irrigated agriculture farms. These soils require frequent irrigation and fertilizer applications. In an attempt to improve soil productivities, a comparative study was conducted on urban landscape and agriculture farm in UAE, whereby, three different soil amendments were tested, the Austrablend Multi Mineral Root Zone Conditioner outperformed in saving 40% irrigation water and doubling the productivity of landscape grass and barley forage production.

The ABMMRZC is highly reactive in sandy soils to develop soil structure due to the presence of most reactive (high cation exchange capacity) clay minerals belonging to smectites group responsible for improving moisture and nutrients retention capacities, thus saving water and nutrients from losses. Therefore, ABMMRZC is vital for the sandy soils wherever these exist on the globe."
