STOR-IT Granular mineral soil improver
Stor-it opens passive pores in the soil and actively creates a flow of air in the soil. This way, excess moisture can drain perfectly. Stor-it also increases the buffering capacity of nutrients and provides an extremely strong, stable and porous framework in the soil.
The situation
Excess moisture
The playability of a sports field or golf course is influenced by water logging of soils. Turf produces organic matter that swells when the moisture content in the soil gets too high. Consequently, the soil is compacted and air cannot circulate freely.
The challenge
Regulation of moisture and air
The challenge is to drain excessive water while saving the water needed by the plant without compacting the soil or leaching nutrients.
The solution
Dry, freely draining soils
The micropores in Stor-it pull moisture from the surrounding macropores for later use. Stor-it, which takes the place of grains of sand, opens passive pores in the soil and actively creates a flow of air in the soil. This way, excess moisture can drain perfectly. Stor-it enhances the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil, increases the buffering capacity of nutrients and thus reduces leaching. Stor-it provides an extremely strong, stable and porous framework in the soil.
Benefits
STOR-IT, pre-charged granular clinoptilolyte
-
1
Improves drainage
-
2
Reduces leaching of nutrients
-

Vital and dense turf
DOC field trials in 2012 demonstrate that drainage results in more vital and dense turf, supported by more active root mass.
