Azomite can strengthen a plant’s resistance to drought conditions, and improve growth and produce of plants and vegetables.

Azomite is natural mineral product mined from Utah in the United States. Specifically, it is prepared from a mineral volcanic rock.

It was discovered by Rollin Anderson to contain more than 70 minerals and trace elements, which can benefit the living organisms such as the plant and livestock animals.

These trace elements and minerals are unlike any volcanic deposit in the world because they are a combination of seawater and rare earth minerals that are found only in Azomite deposits, and nowhere else.

It is used by gardeners and farmers in many ways.

• It makes an excellent anti-caking agent and re-mineralizer for soils.

• It improves the crop yields, which brings more profits to farmers.

• It also enhances immunity of the plants because the nutrients and minerals of soil are replenished.

• It is also a good mineral booster in livestock animals by increasing the lean gain in animals, and enhancing their health.

Many farmers benefit from using this mineral besides the mineral feed additives and soil fertility program that they already have.

Some of the minerals that are not easily available in other fertilizers include the Alumina, silica oxide, barium oxide, titania, sodium oxide, ferric oxide, magnesium oxide and manganese oxide.

Among its rare earth elements are boron, cobalt, copper, iodine, selenium, zinc and tungsten.

According to its manufacturer, the mineral benefits are best understood in the Law of the Minimum, which states that the growth of plant is determined by the limiting nutrient.

This means that even if only one nutrient is deficient, the plant will not grow and produce at its optimal capacity.

In many conventional fertilizer programs, the focus is on the macro nutrients like the phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium, and sometimes, sulphur and iron.

But, if one of the essential trace elements—like Boron, Molybdenum, Copper, and Zinc—is inadequate in the soil the plant’s optimal capacity to grow and produce is not attained.

On the other hand, the mineral has 644 ppm of rare earth elements or REEs, which, even a small dose of each element can strengthen the plant’s resistance to drought conditions, and improve growth and produce of plants and vegetables.

When added into the regular animal feeds, azomite supplies the needed minerals that are lacking in their regular feeds.

The animal feeds are often prepared from grasses and plants grown in nutrient-deficient soil. Thus, even if there are other mineral mixes, the mineral requirements are not wholly met.
