Description
A volcanic ash deposit of riolitic tuff, which has a high micro- and macroelement content and an advantageous structure. By mixing it into the soil, its ion-exchange capacity reduces soil acidity and, due to its particle size, soil binding. It improves the ion exchange capacity and trace element supply of acid and saline soils and sandy soils.

Its structure allows it to retain up to 20-25% of water by volume, which is advantageous in times of drought and wetland conditions. Riolite tufa therefore makes the soil more evenly distributed in terms of water management.

The use of riolite tufa improves soil life and allows healthier crops to be grown. It can increase yields by up to 5-10%. It is easy to apply, either with a fertiliser spreader or with a fertiliser spreader with a spinner. It can be applied at any time when there is no plant cover or when the conditions for mixing into the soil are right. Application can be made by disc, combiner and other mixing implements up to a layer of 20-25 cm of soil.

If the correct dosage is used, a 5 to 8 year durability can be achieved.

It is also suitable for use in plough soil, horticulture, mixed into the top 20 cm of the soil or applied in the planting hole at planting time.

In trials in maize, yield increases of 5-10% were achieved using riolite tufa, and grain moisture was reduced by 1%.

Among its other potential applications, it is worth mentioning that it can be used effectively for animal waste treatment, organic manure treatment, water purification, composting, as bedding material spread on the ground, as a carrier material for landscaping, pesticide and fertilizer production.

There can be no doubt about the usefulness of the valuable Bodrogkeresztur riolite tufa. Its high content of calcium, potassium, zinc, iron and magnesium can meet all the needs of vegetation, so that no other source is needed. Increased photosynthesis leads to greater carbon dioxide assimilation, which in turn results in the formation of more sugar phosphate, which can lead to better yields.

The 0/5 mm grind is mainly used in very compacted soils for better mixing.

What is the recommended dosage?
- On sandy soils, 0/5 mm grain size 2-3 kg/m²
- On loam soils 0/5 mm grain size 0,5-1 kg/m²
- On clay soils 0/5 mm grain size 2 kg/m²
- For new plantings in planting pits 5-15 kg in 0/5 mm grain size
- For existing plantations, 2-3 kg/m² in the row spacing
- For growing media, mix in 0/5 mm grits at 25-30% by volume

Its good properties have also been noticed by livestock farmers. During bedding, riolite tufa is spread on the soil to absorb the slurry and, when mixed with the manure, helps it to mature earlier so that it can be spread in one pass.

It is a natural substance, has a NÉBIH marketing and use authorisation and can be used in organic farming.

Also available in 10 kg bags.
