Zeolite and its active substance, clinoptilolite, have various uses in agriculture. Newstone Zeolite is a product used in animal breeding as feed additive. It operates primarily as a technological substance. For example it acts as water regulator, an ammonia binder, an anti-caking agent and it is for the fixation of heavy metals and as a mycotoxins binder. However, the use of zeolite in agriculture is much broader. Newstone Zeolite are used as soil conditioners for hydration and retention of soil nutrients. Properties of zeolite are used by fertilizer manufacturers and substrate manufacturers to create green roofs or roof gardens or are used for lawn establishment, fertilization.  
In order to achieve sustainable grass, plant and crop growth, soil must have the following important characteristics:

1. Moisture retention
2. Appropriate nutrient
3. Non-toxic level of contaminants in ground
4. Sufficient aeration in ground
