BENTONITE FOR AGRICULTURE

 

Bentonite in agriculture is used as a feed additive, it contributes to the metabolic processes normalization, better absorption of nutrients, trace elements and vitamins, and stimulates livestock yield.

Bentonite has a high adsorption, catalytic, and ion-exchange activity. It adsorbs alkaloids, paints, heavy metals, toxins of microorganisms, nitrates and nitrites, and other harmful substances.

In addition, bentonite is widely used for:

  • manufacturing of bedding desiccants, designed to combat moisture, pathogens and  ammonia. Bedding desiccants improve sanitary and hygienic conditions of newborn animals and workers.
  • land reclamation, as a carrier of plant nutrients. With the ability to retain moisture and nutrients, bentonite forms a favorable environment for plant nutrition in the rhizosphere. 
  • seeds granulation. Seeds are added to a mixture of bentonite clay and water, which is formed into a ball by extrusion. After “granulation” clay balls with seeds are simply dispersed.

TAGBENT LLP produces the following ecofriendly bentonite based products for agriculture:

Bentonite for crop production

Bentonite products is directly added into the soil to:

  • Optimize air – water and nutrient regimes for the plants,
  • Sorb and neutralize heavy metals;
  • Prevent mold and fungal infection;
  • Increase resistance to adverse environmental factors;
  • Increase seed germinating ability;
  • Accelerate the maturation of agricultural crops, increase their productivity, improve the condition of products, reduce production costs;
  • With the optimal dosage, allows to increase the yield of spring barley, corn, grain, wheat by 15 – 30%.
