Soil conditioners, also known as soil conditioners, are materials that improve soil physical properties and promote nutrient absorption by crops, without providing plant nutrients themselves.

Soil conditioners work by binding together small soil particles to form large, water-stable aggregates. They are widely used to prevent soil erosion, reduce evaporation and excessive transpiration, conserve irrigation water, and promote healthy plant growth.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Altering Soil Physical Properties

Soil aggregate structure is altered, increasing capillary and non-capillary porosity, reducing soil bulk density, increasing soil aeration, and boosting saturated hydraulic conductivity. This helps conserve water, reduces evaporation, and effectively improves precipitation utilization efficiency. Such agents include wheat bran, sawdust, and chicken manure compound amendments, coal fly ash, zeolite, and bentonite.

Improves soil chemical properties

Increases soil organic matter, regulates soil pH, and enhances soil buffering capacity.

Increases soil resistance to water erosion. Polymer soil amendments significantly increase the content of water-stable aggregates in the soil, improving soil resistance to water erosion and reducing soil erosion.

Increases soil ion exchange rate.

Improve saline-alkali soils and absorb heavy metals. Mineral amendments such as zeolite, bentonite, and vermiculite increase cations in the soil, allowing some heavy metals in the soil to be exchanged or fixed, and reducing hydrogen ion concentrations due to exchange and adsorption.

Increasing soil microbial populations and improving enzyme activity.

Microorganisms in the soil rely on organic carbon for growth. Applying organic carbon soil amendments can increase the number and activity of soil microorganisms while inhibiting the activity of fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes, reducing soil-borne diseases.

Increasing soil temperature.

Using asphalt emulsions as soil amendments can significantly increase ground temperature.

Improving soil fertility and crop yields.

Soil amendments contain a large amount of trace elements and organic matter, which are beneficial to crop growth and improve product quality.
