TerraStrat®
TerraStrat® ist ein 100 % natürlicher mineralischer Bodensubstrat auf Basis von Klinoptilolith (Zeolith), der gezielt zur Verbesserung der Bodenstruktur, des Wasserhaushalts und der Nährstoffverfügbarkeit eingesetzt wird.
Dank seiner hochporösen Struktur und grossen aktiven Oberfläche wirkt TerraStrat® als selektiver Ionenaustauscher, der Ammonium (NH₄⁺) bindet und pflanzenverfügbar speichert. Dadurch werden Nährstoffverluste durch Auswaschung reduziert und ein stabileres Nährstoffmilieu im Boden geschaffen.
TerraStrat® verbessert die Wasserspeicherfähigkeit, fördert die Aktivität von Bodenmikroorganismen und unterstützt die Bildung einer krümeligen, gut durchlüfteten Bodenstruktur. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf Keimung, Durchwurzelung und das Pflanzenwachstum aus.
Der Substratzusatz ist pH-neutral, langfristig wirksam und für den biologischen Landbau zugelassen (Bio-FiBL). TerraStrat® eignet sich besonders für den Einsatz in Gemüsebau, Pflanzsubstraten, Rasen- und Sportflächen, Gewächshäusern sowie auf Böden mit geringem Humusanteil.

How TerraStrat® works
TerraStrat® is based on high-quality clinoptilolite (zeolite) with a highly porous, crystalline structure and a very large internal surface area. These properties allow for high water retention as well as effective ion exchange in the soil.
In particular, ammonium ions (NH₄⁺) can be bound in the pore system of TerraStrat® and stored in a plant-available form. This reduces the risk of nutrient leaching and supports a more uniform nutrient supply for the plants.
Effect on Soil Structure and Plant Development
By improving the water, air, and nutrient balance, TerraStrat® contributes to the stabilization of the soil structure. The soil remains moist for longer, better aerated, and easier to work, which is particularly advantageous for sandy soils or soils low in humus.
These optimized soil conditions promote germination, root penetration, and plant growth, and support the uniform development of crops over a longer period.

F.A.Q.
TerraStrat® is a natural mineral soil substrate additive based on clinoptilolite (zeolite). It is used to improve physical soil properties, particularly in agriculture, vegetable growing, lawn and sports surfaces, as well as in substrates.
As a mineral product, TerraStrat® is not degraded in the soil. The effect is maintained over a long period of time, usually making repeated basic application unnecessary.
Yes, TerraStrat® is Bio-FiBL approved and can be used in organic farming. It contains no synthetic or organic additives and acts purely physically in the soil.
