The art of design of an ace soil condition is to use Bentonite which able to change the soil structure and improve soil physical properties, especially in the arid region. The ability of cation exchange and water holding property are responsible to make Bentonite as soil conditioner, our product called FERTIWELL® is an engineered Bentonite for Soil conditioner.
