Zeolite-Clinoptilolite Soil Additive for Golf Courses and Sports Turf Clino Turf is a zeolite-clinoptilolite soil additive that enhances soil properties and supports grass growth. With its high cation exchange capacity, excellent water retention, and absorption properties, Clino Turf not only improves the soil’s water behavior but also prevents the leaching of essential micro and macronutrients. It can be used for sports turf, golf greens, tees and fairways, landscaping, lawns, gardens, etc. It is particularly effective when mixed into sandy and coarse-grained soils.
Clino Turf can be utilized as an excellent slow-release fertilizer additive, allowing efficient management of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S).
Benefits:
- Increases the cation exchange capacity of the soil
- Reduces water requirements for management
- Prevents the formation of thatch layers
- Stores nutrients and water, releasing them as per the plant’s needs
- Enhances balanced nutrition uptake
- Prevents root rot
- Removes heavy metals and toxin contamination
Application:
New Constructions: The minimum application rate is 5% by volume; however, optimal results are achieved at rates of 10-15%. Clino Turf should be mixed with sand before application.
Existing Sports Turf: Best results are obtained by incorporating Clino Turf into the root zone at a rate of 100-250 kg per 100 m2.
