Basalt Rock Dust Pellet – Natural Mineral Amendment
Basalt Meal Pellets – Natural Mineral Amendment for Soil Remineralization
Pelletized basalt meal is a 100% natural mineral amendment obtained from basaltic rock of volcanic origin. This product comes in pellet form (approximately 3–6 mm) for easier handling, application and durability in the field.
Thanks to its high content of silica (SiO₂), iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other essential micronutrients, basalt meal is a key tool for the regeneration of agricultural soils, especially soils that are depleted, acidic, compacted or degraded by intensive farming.
The pellet form ensures a more convenient and uniform application, dust-free, and is compatible with any fertilizer spreading machinery. It also allows a gradual release of the mineral elements, prolonging their action in the soil.
✅ Benefits of Applying Basalt Meal Pellets
