KEY BENEFITS Z-MENDIT™ is a zeolite (clinoptilolite), a natural occurring mineral with microscopic pores. Researchers have reported benefits in water use efficiency, environment leachate reductions and plant fertility. Z-MENDIT™ has a bulk density of 60 lb/cu ft and carries a very high CEC (165 meq/100 grams) so only 8% to 10% in the root zone will increase your nutrient reservoir substantially to better facilitate nutrient availability and plant utilization in the root zone. Z-MENDIT™ allows you to load the nutrients in balance where you need them... in the root zone. This by extension will assist efforts in offsetting the detriment constantly imposed by deteriorating water quality and the use of re-claimed effluent. Z-MENDIT™ is naturally light green in color and is ideal for top-dressing after aerification or for use with a DryJect® machine. This will further compliment and enhance your cultural practices by improving air and water movement, and help to prevent surface organic layers from sealing and restricting these vital functions as well as allowing for optimum gas exchange. APPLICATION GUIDE
Applications for Z-mendit™:
Z-mendit™ is a soil amendment that, when added to a root zone improves plant performance. It is a clinoptilolite and when added to other growth media enhances its performance.
Use for sports turf, golf greens & tees, in greenhouse-nursery mixes, in garden soils, planting beds and containers, for landscaping, roof gardens, transplants, and horticultural crops.
Particularly suitable for sandy and coarse textured soils.
Turf Top Dressing:
Apply Z-mendit™ to existing turf. Best results will be obtained if Z-mendit™ is worked into the root zone via aerification, drill and fill, Dry-jecting™ or other method. Normal application is 275 to 500 lbs per 1000 ft2 (120-245 kg/100 M2) with aerification or other procedure to enhance placement into the root zone.
Turf - New Construction:
Z-mendit™ will enhance establishment of seed,sprigs or sod. Apply at least 5% by volume to top 6" (15cm). Recommended rate is 10%-15% by volume. Blend with sand prior to placement or lay out a grid of known size and apply the appropriate amount to each grid. Blend with rake or rototiller then proceed with seeding, sprigging or sodding.
Divot Mix:
Mix Z-mendit™ with divot mix for a 50% ZeoPro™ 50% sand ratio to enhance germination and moisture and nutrient retention capabilities.
