Calcium Bentonite
Calcium Bentonite
Calcium Bentonite is a naturally occurring hydrated clay mineral (mainly montmorillonite) with excellent adsorption, ion-exchange, and soil-conditioning properties. In agriculture, it is widely used as a soil conditioner, fertilizer carrier, toxin binder, and moisture regulator. Its ability to retain water and nutrients makes it highly beneficial for improving soil fertility and supporting healthy plant growth. Calcium Bentonite is eco-friendly, residue-free, and suitable for both conventional and organic farming systems.
