Water holding capacity of substrates containing zeolite and its effect on growth, biomass production and chlorophyll content of Solanum lycopersicum Mill

Abstract: Zeolita clinoptilolita es un aluminosilicato hidratado que pertenece a un grupo de minerales de origen volcánico y posee propiedades agrícolas interesantes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar el efecto causado por la zeolita en plántulas de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) cultivadas en macetas. Por lo tanto, se evaluaron las propiedades físicas de tres sustratos: peat moss (pm), perlita (per) y zeolita (zeo), y sus diferentes mezclas (pm:per:zeo) en los siguientes tratamientos: (T1 o Contro… Show more

“…To prepare the SZ and SZLOF substrates and ZLOF growth medium (see Table 4 and Table 6), dry sand was thoroughly mixed by hand with zeolite (20% by mass). The amount of zeolite was consistent with the content used in other studies (Méndez Arguello et al 2018;Nichols and Savidov 2009).…”

“…These hydrated tectoaluminosilicates of alkaline/alkaline earth elements [ 45 ] are retained as an important natural inorganic soil improver that can enhance the land’s physical/chemical properties (i.e., infiltration rate [ 46 ], cation exchange capacity [ 47 ], and saturated hydraulic conductivity [ 48 ]). It was made extensively clear that soil adaptation using zeolitic equipment refines water holding and minimizes the percolation which lowers water enforcement in agricultural management [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”

“…Engineered nanoporous zeolites, also called aluminosilicates, are defined based on the presence of micro-(<2 nm), meso-(2-50 nm), and macropores (>50 nm), which can be employed as carriers of fertilizers due to their enhanced ion-exchange properties and adsorption capabilities. Méndez-Argüello et al (2018) studied the effect of zeolite-clinoptilolite on Solanum lycopersicum seedlings growth. An assay was set to test and compare the physical properties of three substrates: peat moss (pm), perlite (per) and zeolite (zeo), and their mixtures (pm:per:zeo) at different proportions.…”
