Description

The premium agricultural caolin, also known as white clay powder, is a natural product, mainly composed of the caolinite mineral. This high quality coating agent offers an effective solution against various environmental and biological threats, improving the health and performance of plants in a wide range of agricultural conditions. It is especially effective as a protector against fly and mosquito pests, in addition to protecting crops from ultraviolet radiation and decreasing evapotranspiration.

Benefits

  • Pest control: Especially effective against fly and mosquito pests, acting as a physical barrier. Caolin can act as a physical barrier between plants and various types of pests, such as insects and mites. When covering the leaves, it makes it difficult for the pests to be feed or put eggs on them. It can also help prevent certain fungal diseases by preventing spores from adhere to plants.
  • Sun protection and against thermal stress: It reflects sunlight and protects against ultraviolet radiation, helping plants to support periods of water stress and excess heat or sunstroke. Caolin reflects sunlight, which can help prevent solar burns in fruits and leaves. This is particularly useful in regions with high solar radiation and high temperatures. When reflecting sunlight, caolin can also reduce the surface temperature of the leaves. This helps plants better handle thermal stress during periods of intense heat.
  • Efficiency in water use: Evapotranspiration decreases, allowing plants to conserve more water. Caolin coating can reduce the perspiration of plants, which means that plants can retain more water. This is especially beneficial during periods of drought or in areas with limited access to water.
  • Safe and ecological: It does not present toxicity for other animals or soils, making it ideal for use in organic farming.

Application

Premium agricultural caolin should be applied directly on plants in its dust form. Its "refreshing" action is ideal to help plants during periods of stress due to lack of water and excess heat. This product is easy to use and does not require specific instructions for its application, being its visible effectiveness in the protection and improvement of crop health.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
