Description
Dryland soils lose fertilizer fast, which wastes money and water. Girijaveni V and co-authors tested a natural mineral, identified as mordenite zeolite, as a soil helper in India. Lab tests measured how much nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium the mineral can hold. Column tests then tracked how much nutrient washed through treated soil. The mineral came from a local market and was checked with X-ray and microscope methods.
The mineral held nitrogen best of the three nutrients. In columns, treated soil lost about fifteen percent less nitrogen than untreated soil at one dose. A pot trial extended the checks to growing plants. The study, published in twenty twenty-four, supports zeolite as a low-cost aid for dryland farms.
