The CEC of the soil is determined by the amount of clay (Zeolite) and/or humus that is present. These two colloidal substances are essentially the cation warehouse or reservoir of the soil and are very important because they improve the nutrient and water holding capacity of the soil. Sandy soils with very little organic matter (OM) have a low CEC, but heavy clay soils with high levels of OM would have a much greater capacity to hold cations.

High Calcium reach Zeo-Tech Products are recognized as an excellent fertilizer and field soil amendment. In direct soil application Zeolite can serve a similar function in the slow release of nitrogen. Zeolites have their atoms arranged in a honeycomb open crystal framework that can hold other atoms or molecules much like a sponge holds water.

A soil with a very low CEC has little or no clay or humus content. Its description may be closer to sand and/or gravel than to soil. It cannot hold very much water or cation nutrients and plants cannot grow well. The reason for the necessary adjustment is not for the need of a higher CEC but because the soil needs conditioning. A result of this treatment is higher CEC.
