  • Since most soils consist of solid particles, water and air, it is necessary to maintain a careful balance.
  • A good soil profile is approximately 25% water, 25% air and 50% solid particulate matter.
  • However, when soils are compacted, an imbalance occurs and water and air are squeezed out.
  • The most important result of compacted soil is decomposition or putrefaction of root.
  • Expanded clay does not need to be re-applied year after year.
  • With ECA you can avoid compact or solid condition.

CLASSIFICATION

  • Generally, agriculture is done by two methods:
    • Conventional method - where natural soil is been used.
    • Modern method - where Expanded clay aggregate is used either with soil or individually.
  • Modern method in agriculture includes:
    • Horticulture
    • Hydroculture / Hydroponics
    • Plants In Greenhouse Containers
HORICULTURE
  • It improves the physical characteristics of these classic substrates for cutting production, for the growth of hothouse plants, for the growth of plants for flower borders, etc.
  • ECA has also been used in mixtures with mineral soil to improve the soil structure of nurseries.
  • ECA has other quality improvement such as following:
    • Increase air space for healthier root development
    • Reduce compaction of soil and Increase soil porosity
    • Reduce of sweet soil weight
    • Reduce labour cost through more efficient watering
    • Increase profits with quicker crop turnover and higher plant quality
