PurOSil
For Healthy Growth of Plants
PurOSil
PurÖSil is processed siliceous earth mined from sedimentary layers
deposited millions of years ago in a fresh water lake. It is light weight
grains like in appearance, very porous and comprises siliceous fossils
of plant algae. It consists primarily of amorphous silica, a highly
beneficial nutrient for plants as it strengthens cell walls and leads to
healthier, stronger and more robust plants Growth.
Key Benefits of Purosil
High Porosity & Drainage of soil
Used as soil conditioner/amendment
Low Bulk Density
Reduces dead load in roof structures
Purosil is used as a high performance soil amendment / conditioner to
provide plant available silica and improve cation exchange capacity,
improves porosity and drainage of soil and promote the health of the
soil's root system. The addition of PurÖSil to soil helps to promote the
healthy growth of living plants. The intricate pore structure of diatoms
keeps the pores in the soil open and controls the water supply to the
roots, holding and releasing moisture when required. The improved
structure oxygenates the soil and helps break up heavy clay.
Thermal conditioning at the root level
High cation-anion exchange
High Silica strengthens Roots
Decreases number of Pathogens in soil
Applications
Creation of sport lawns in natural turf , Refurbishment, improvement of
the sensitive areas (bad draining, shade areas or, inversely, too
permeable soils) , green spaces (arboretums/ botanical gardens, trees,
gardens), golf courses ,sports fields, roof /terrace gardens , green roof
and other landscape projects by Landscape gardeners, green keepers
and landscape architects
