    Uses

    a) In Agriculture
    Zeolite absorbs ammonia and other cations contained in fertilizers and offers then, when they are needed, thereby reducing loss of fertilizer units which would be lost in the aquifer. It also helps to maintain a neutral pH soil and moisture retention especially in sandy soils.

     

    b) In Livestock
