Abstract

Zeolite is a hydrated aluminosilicate mineral with a three-dimensional structure. The unique zeolite crystal structure makes zeolites have cation boundary properties, adsorption, molecular sieving, catalysts, capture, and release of air molecules. Many studies in various fields including agriculture have been done by utilizing the properties of the zeolite. Indonesia has an abundant source of zeolite reserves and extensive agricultural areas, making it possible to apply zeolite research results to support sustainable agricultural activities. In this article will discuss the potential utilization of zeolite in agriculture based on the studies that have been done.

Highlights

  • Soil degradation is a major issue that needs immediate attentionZeolite mineral is a hydrated aluminosilicate included in tectosilicate type with three-dimensional shaped frame (Valdés, Pérez-Cordoves, & Díaz-García, 2006)

Summary

Introduction

Soil degradation is a major issue that needs immediate attentionZeolite mineral is a hydrated aluminosilicate included in tectosilicate type with three-dimensional shaped frame (Valdés, Pérez-Cordoves, & Díaz-García, 2006). Some research has been conducted to examine the potential other than zeolite which can be utilized in the field of agriculture. It may need to know the results of the research that has been done in an effort to improve the quality of zeolite in agriculture.
