Palagonite is a naturally occurring premium soil conditioner that rapidly remineralises nutrient depleted soils. It is particularly valuable for a range of applications in agriculture and animal nutrition. Farmers and gardeners like it because it is easy to spread, does not create hazardous dust plumes and blends well with composted manures.
Silicon is the second most abundant element on the planet, and yet the plant available form has become critically low in most of our farmed soils. All plants need silicon, all plants use silicon, but farmers using extractive farming methods haven't been replacing it for a long time.
It turns out silicon is a key player in the immune response and the stress response, helping the plant to resist pathogenic attacks, pest damage, and harsh weather conditions.The first line of defence is the plant cell wall. Fungal pathogens use their hyphae to pierce through the wall and into the cell to feed and spread to other cells.

Palagonite is best applied into and below the usual root zone to encourage deeper root growth. Reduce recommended soluble chemical fertiliser application rates. Apply fertiliser above the palagonite layer to reduce leaching of soluble nutrients. Effective composting of biomass and animal manures can be accelerated with palagonite to create an odourless, fully composted product that contains the full suite of essential plant nutrients.
