The bearing of this inquiry was to evaluate the fertilizing content of an innovative zeolite product , characterise by an encapsulated structure with an organic matrix on vegetable and decorative plants and the interaction with soil microorganisms present in the refinement substrate . The experiment , commence in January 2021 , were conducted in the glasshouse of CREA - OF in Pescia ( PT ) , Tuscany . The experimental radical were : i ) group control , irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized ; ii ) group with zeolite 21 % ammoniacal atomic number 7 ; iii ) radical with zeolite coated with Ecoat ; iv ) chemical group with zeolite 21 % ammoniac nitrogen , SO 3 57.7 % with nitritification inhibitor dcd ( dicyandiamide ) and DMPP 3,4 dimethylpyrazole - phosphate . The trial carried out on hemangioma simplex and Polygala myrtifolia actually show up how the role of zeolite can amend the fertilize holding of the substratum . In particular , the use of capsulize zeolite resulted in an increment in plant height , vegetational and ancestor weight , turn and flowers animation , phone number and weight of yield in strawberry mark and Polygala myrtifolia . In plus , there were changes in substrate pH , microbiological count and atomic number 7 , phosphorus , and potassium cognitive content depending on the eccentric of zeolytic product used . Research has show that the habit of stiff zeolite can significantly improve the agronomical and production quality of strawberry and Polygala myrtifolia plants . For good example , Ecoat handling with zeolite capsulize with constitutive matrices in strawberries result in a stool production of 39.61 fruits and a weightiness of 36.39 chiliad / yield , liken to 24.21 and 26.48 gigabyte / fruit for the untreated control condition . While in Polygala myrtifolia the same treatment ( Ecoat ) result in 48.00 flowers per plant and a flower life of 9.20 days equate to 34.86 bloom and 6.20 of the restraint . The test also show up that treatment with Ecoat can promote the development of microbic dependency in the substrate , 3.5 x 10 4 cfu / g compared with 2.3 x 10 2 cfu / universal gravitational constant in the control in strawberry and 3.2 x 10 4 cfu / g compared with 2.6 x 10 2 cfu / gramme in Polygala myrtifolia . In gain , the software of these aluminosilicates in substrates can act upon the pH and the microbic component that is substantive for the refinement and defense of plants . The Ecoat product that performed best in the trial can play the role of both a nitrogen - establish plant food and , thanks to its organic matrix , of stimulate microbic development in the substratum in which the flora are grown .
