BENEFITS OF PALAGONITE
Benefits of Palagonite
Palagonite is more than just a soil conditioner — it’s a powerful tool for regenerating soil health, boosting crop performance, and building long-term farm resilience.
✅ Stronger, Healthier Plants
Rich in bioavailable silicon, Palagonite strengthens plant cell walls, helping crops resist pests, diseases, and extreme weather like drought, heat, and frost.
✅ Improved Soil Structure
High levels of calcium and magnesium improve soil aeration, reduce compaction, and create the ideal environment for beneficial microbes and strong root systems.
✅ Better Nutrient Retention
With a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of 34, Palagonite holds more nutrients in the soil where plants can access them — reducing leaching and fertiliser waste.
✅ Moisture Holding Power
Palagonite retains up to 40% of its weight in water, helping soils stay hydrated and reducing irrigation needs, especially in dry or sandy soils.
✅ Feeds Soil Life
Loaded with 22 essential minerals and fine-grained iron, Palagonite stimulates microbial activity — essential for nutrient cycling, disease resistance, and healthy soil.
✅ Faster, Smarter Composting
When added to compost, Palagonite boosts nitrogen retention, shortens composting time, and creates a richer, more complete organic fertiliser.
✅ Odour & Waste Control
Reduces odours and transforms hard-to-manage organic waste into high-value fertiliser — naturally.
✅ Proven Results
In field trials since 2015, Palagonite has shown:
-
Up to 50% yield increases
-
Improved crop quality and nutrient density
-
Lower input costs with less irrigation and pesticide use
Palagonite is the cost-effective, all-in-one solution for farmers looking to regenerate their soils and future-proof their operations.
