Agricultural Perlite (Perlisiol P14)
Perlit is used as a substrate agent in soil aeration, steel layering, advancement of hydration level of soil, spreading of fertilizer, as well as in enhancing the physical attributes of flower and pot soil.
WHY TO USE PERLITE IN AGRICULTURE?
» Perlite ensures soil aeration and improves its drainage with over 90% porosity and around 60% aeration porosity.
» Perlite provides economic irrigation.
» It does not carry weed seed or illness thanks to its inorganic structure.
» Perlite does not cause saltiness and alkalization problems thanks to highly reduced amount of soluble ions contained.
» It regulates the PH of the soil easily as it is neutral (PH=6.5-7.5).
» Thanks to its low heat conductivity, it minimizes the harmful effect of daily temperature changes on the plant.
» In soilless agricultural activities, it ensures protection of its properties after sterilization offering 5-6 years of use life. It provides early cultivation of yields.
» It prevents damage and loss at seedling roots.
» In order to eliminate the problems experienced in the greenhouse soils which gradually become exhausted, perlite use in soilless agricultural applications have increased over the recent years.
