China Clay
China Clay
China Clay, also known as Kaolin, is a naturally occurring soft white mineral widely used in agriculture as a crop protectant, anti-caking agent, and soil conditioner. In farming, it acts as a natural pest repellent by forming a fine protective film on plant surfaces, deterring insects and reducing sunburn damage. Additionally, it improves soil structure, enhances nutrient retention, and supports healthy crop growth. Being eco-friendly and residue-free, China Clay is highly suitable for organic and sustainable farming practices.
