Abstract

Due to many difficulties caused by overuse of chemicals in agriculture during recent years, much attention has been focused on sustainable agriculture concept. Sustainable agriculture provides safe and enough food for human kind and does not damage environment. Zeolites are crystalline porous aluminosilicates containing alkali (e.g. Na) and alkaline earth (e.g. Ca) cations. The unique physical and chemical properties of natural zeolites, based on their ion exchange, catalytic and molecular sieve properties, make them useful for many agricultural and horticultural applications and also fore other environmental use. The present paper reviews the properties of natural zeolites in favour of sustainable agriculture.
