Sanoplant natural soil conditioner by Ecoplant
Sanoplant is a granulated soil amendment, which stores water and
nutrients and promotes healthy plant growth. Using SANOPLANT, about 50% of irrigation
water can be saved! and in addition, the application of SANOPLANT renders any
fertiliser use more effective.
SANOPLANT was originally developed to prevent leaching of chemical fertilisers,
used on golf course greens, into the water table. Making use of its unique properties it
has since been further developed for broader "growing" application, particularily
for use in arid regions.
It is a blend of silicate based natural stone powders that undergoes a special physical
treatment. High resistible carbon compounds and special cellulose are added to the silica
product, whereafter the powders are compacted and granulated for easy calibration, handling
and application. SANOPLANT is NOT a 'polymer', or 'water crystal').
- SANOPLANT significantly improves the storage of water and nutrients in soils which have high air pore-volume and poor water holding capacity.
- SANOPLANT can store approximately 16 times it's own weight of water.
- Importantly, this water is plant available as it is held under moderate tension.
- SANOPLANT can be used in almost all soil types, but is most effective in sandy soils.
How does SANOPLANT work?
The SANOPLANT is mixed into the soil / potting mix in, or just below, the root zone. The
granulate rapidly "absorbs" water and any nutrients therein; the water (and nutrients) are
held under moderate tension by the Sanoplant, so that they are available to the plants, as
and when required.
Stored water and nutrients are available to the plants over a long time period resulting
in much better growth and healthier plants.
SANOPLANT increases the plant available water quantity, storing water which would otherwise
be lost to drainage. Nutrients in the water are held and are available to the plants.
