What is agricultural perlite (100 liters)? It is a natural glassy volcanic material that is heated to a very high temperature (800-1000°C) until it expands like popcorn, becoming very light, porous, white granules. It is used as a physical and chemical soil conditioner to address drainage and aeration problems.

Benefits of 100 liters of agricultural perlite

• It prevents the cracking and compaction of soil, especially clay soil.
• It increases the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer while draining excess water.
• It increases the rate of ventilation and oxygen delivery to the roots.
• It helps to form a better and stronger root system for the plant.
• It provides a balanced environment that protects the roots from rotting.
• Pure and very lightweight (3-5 times lighter than sand).
• It does not decompose, rot, or get infested with insects, and it lasts for years.
• It is a thermal insulator and protects the roots from sudden temperature changes.
• Sterile and free from pathogens due to thermal expansion.

Importance of agricultural perlite (100 liters)

Perlite is considered one of the most important components of modern agricultural environments because it transforms heavy soil into a porous and light soil. It protects plants from serious problems such as root suffocation, root rot, topsoil cracking, and salt accumulation. Without perlite, the soil loses its ability to regenerate.
