A completely organic, naturally occurring mineral

Pozzolan is extracted from a surface mine located in Lassen County, California, 30 miles north of Reno, Nevada. This deposit originated 26 million years ago when nearby volcanoes erupted and the volcanic ash was deposited into fresh water lakes. These freshwater lakes contained large amounts of protozoa called Diatoms. This tiny organism is extremely porous and absorbent which allows for the effcient movement of water to turf and plants.

Time is money and Lassenite ATS reduces the watering frequency of hard to maintain turf areas. The benefits of adding Lassenite ATS to your soil profile and plants include:

• Reduces the frequency of watering.
• Reduce labor costs associated with intensive turf management
• Increased quality and quantity of yields
• Reduction in the use of fertilizers
• Allows the soil to absorb and hold water
• Forces open and maintains air and water passageways
• Accelerates blooming and optimizes maturation
• Promotes deeper roots and increases the number of fine root hairs

Tests show that the addition of Lassenite ATS to your turf provides the following results:

• Increased moisture retention – In a number of different tests, including absorbency tests, Lassenite ATS retained between 92 and 102% of its mass in water. Lassenite ATS ensures consistent delivery of moisture to the plants’ root system. Stored water in the soil horizon was increased 181% over controls.
• Decreased compaction – The ability of a soil additive to aerate a soil is a function of the compaction properties of the material. If the product compacts dramatically, soil porosity will decrease, resulting in a less aerated soil. A 46% improvement in porosity was observed attesting to Lassenite ATS's inherent ability to improve the aeration of soils.
• High capillarity – Lassenite ATS possesses a strong wicking ability or conduit effect. Lassenite ATS can actually pull water uphill. Tests show a dramatic improvement of soil with the addition of Lassenite ATS and is strong evidence of the products ability to evenly distribute moisture throughout the soil column.
• No soil expansion – Because of the concerns raised by expansive soils, it is important to document a soil additive’s expansion characteristics. Test results confirmed that Lassenite ATS exhibits no expansion characteristics thereby allowing for the ease of moisture movement in the soil.
• High CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) – Due to its high CEC, adding Lassenite ATS to your soil can greatly improve the soil ability to hold onto nutrients.
