- Features & Benefits
- 100% natural soil conditioner.
- Does not contain any toxic substances.
- Increases the cation exchange capacity of the soil.
- Stores nutritional elements and water in its porous structure.
- Enables a longer availability of essential nutrients in the soil, therefore improves crop quality and initiates early ripening.
- Increases crop yields.
- Helps to save water by decreasing the frequency of irrigation.
- Aerates heavy soils and prevents the formation of duff layer.
- Stabilizes the pH.
- Reduces salinity resulting from excessive use of chemical fertilizers.
- Improves germination, helps to maintain healthy roots. Prevents root decay!
- Prevents transition of heavy metals, radioactive matter and toxins into plant tissues and groundwater.
- Absorbs nitrates and ammonium.
- Does not dissolve in water, therefore works actively for extended periods of time.
- When mixed with silage prevents the formation of molds, fungi, mycotoxins and bad odors.
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Application
- Agro-Clino can be mixed with soil to prevent branch knot, at root level, in fruit trees such as apple, cherry, peach, nut, apricot, quince, plum, banana.
- Agro-Clino can be used in the fields or in greenhouses together with chemical fertilizers, animal manure and peat before planting.
- For fruit trees (olive, apple, apricot, cherry, peach, quince, plum, banana, pear etc.) it should be mixed into the soil under the leaf projection area.
- Dosage varies according to soil type and tree species.
- Best results are achieved when Agro-Clino is applied before rain or irrigation.
- It should be added to the planting pits of fruit trees at a quantity of 1/3 of the pit soil.
- It is recommended to conduct soil analysis before deciding on the dosage and correct type of application.

around the plant.Banana 1 - 2 kg per root Lemon, orange, apple, pear, peach, cherry, plum,
apricot, olives, nuts, berries, etc.250 - 500 g per
tree for each ageShould be mixed with the soil in the leaf
projection area to a depth of 10-15cm.Saplings 2 - 5 kg/sapling Should be mixed with the soil in the pit Seedlings 7 - 10 kg/m² Add 7-10 kg per m² of the seed bed or
mix up to 30% with the seedling soil.
Application rates may vary depending on the soil type, and regional and seasonal conditions.

The Efficiency of Agro-Clino as a Soil Conditioner in Acidic and Alkaline Soils:
- Adding Agro-Clino to mixtures of either acidic or alkaline soils with specific fertilizers has a major beneficial effect on the controlled slow release of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur), which enables them to be available for longer periods.
- Agro-Clino retains a significant amount of water due to its porous structure.
- Due to its high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Agro-Clino activates the soil.
