EXPERIMENT

We prepared the soil in the seedbed; in the first three rows, we added zeolite in a powder-like particle size of 0.8 millimetres at a concentration of 20 per cent

We placed three seeds in each position

We covered them with soil.

We fitted the base and the top lid to create a warmer environment

The 1st and 6th rows contain peppers.
The 2nd and 5th rows contain aubergines.
The 3rd and 4th rows have tomatoes.

When transferring the tomatoes to a larger container, the following changes were observed in the root system:

Tomatoes without zeolite

tomato plants with zeolite after 49 days.

We observe a spectacular increase in the root system of the tomato plants to which zeolite was added.
