Bentonite Plain Granules
Bentonite Plain Granules
Bentonite granules are natural, highly absorbent clay particles primarily used in agriculture as a carrier for fertilizers and pesticides, improving soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient delivery. They act as soil conditioners to reduce erosion and boost microbial activity. Industrially, they are used for drilling muds, sealing wells, and as absorbents.

Key Uses of Bentonite Granules
-
Agriculture (Soil Amendment & Conditioning):
- Water Retention:
They absorb significant moisture, ensuring a steady water supply for crops in dry conditions. - Soil Structure Improvement :
These granules help bind sandy soils to prevent erosion and improve porosity in clayey soils. - Fertilizer/Pesticide Carrier :
They act as a stable carrier for pesticides, herbicides, and, specifically, granulated zinc or sulfur, ensuring controlled, slow-release of nutrients. - Root Development :
They help create a loose, aerated environment for improved root growth.
