Perlite can be used as a highly effective soil amendment, Hydroponic media and pesticide / fertilizer carrier material that helps farmers achieve economic and ecological benefits while also securing global food supplies. Perlite can also be used by small scale gardeners and also those who make horticulture a hobby.
One of the major problems in agriculture is the degradation of soil quality due to shortage of water, soil crusting & compaction, extremely hot & dry climate and side effect of chemical enhancer. Perlite is 100% natural soil amendment with ability to improve soil condition effectively in a sustainable manner.
Perlite strong capillary attraction for water and moisture retention makes it an ideal hydroponic medium. Perlite hydroponic can be used in wide range of application such as rooftop gardening, vertical gardening or a substitute for soil in the place where arable land is very limited.
Expanded perlite is a very effective carrier for pesticide, fertilizer, herbicide, feed concentrates and another similar enhancer. Perlite as a carrier works by absorbing the concentrate while allowing it to flow freely. This mechanism elongated the concentrates availability in soil, allowing it to work more optimum. It also prevents micro-biological degradation of concentrate.
