Zeolites as additives for the rooting of Camellia japonica and Proteaceae Juss

Abstract The term“zeolite” was created by Cronstedt (1756, for mineral which expel water when heated and hence seemto boil. They are very common and well known as fine crystals of hydrothermal genesis in geodes and fissures of eruptive rocks, or as microcrystalline masses of sedimentary origin. A natural zeolite is a framework alumina-silicate whose structure contains channel filled with water…

Germination Of Vegetable And Grassland species With Micronized chabazitic-Zeolites And Endophytic Fungi.

Abstract Zeolites are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates of alkali and earth metals that possess infinite, three dimensional crystal structures. They are further characterized by an ability to lose and gain water reversibly and to exchange some of their constituent elements without major change of structure. Zeolites were discovered in 1756 by Freiherr Axel Fredrick Cronstedt, a Swedish…

EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS AND CHABAZITIC-ZEOLITES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT QUALITY OF ECHINOPSIS HYBRIDS

The aim of the research was to improve the growth and quality of Echinopsis hybrids plants. Substrates with added chabazitic-zeolites and Effective microorganisms were used, in addition to assessing seed germination and plant growth after treatment, the test examined whether microorganisms sprayed on flowers could influence and attract pollinating insects. The trial included 4 tests: 1)…

Effect of chabazitic-zeolites and effective microorganisms on growth and chemical composition of Aloe barbadensis Miller and Aloe arborescens Miller

With the aim of improving the growth of plants of Aloe barbadensis and A. arborescens and improve the content of sugars and minerals, several experiments were conducted replacing chabazitic-zeolites with normal inorganic substrates and adding the effective microorganisms (EM) to assess whether they affected plant development. The experiment on both Aloe species involved three treatments: 1) soil;…

EARTHWORM HUMUS FOR THE GROWTH OF VEGETABLE PLANTS

In the 20th century, the arrival of intensive agriculture brought about the phenomenon of soil impoverishment. Chemical fertilization methods, the study of applied genetics, the mechanization of agriculture and the development of phytosanitary techniques have all increased agricultural production. Earthworm humus constitutes an authentic biological fertilizer in terms of organicmaterial and…

Abstract

In order to improve the growth of Impatiens and Oleander plants, several experiments were conducted in which chabazitic- zeolites were added to cultivation substrates to assess their influence on plant growth and reduction of fertilizer use. The experiment on Impatiens and Oleander involved 4 treatments: control with total fertilization; control with reduced fertilization; substrate with…
