Our firm, OR-TAR, has been established in 2007 and it commenced production with a 200.000 ton annual capacity in September 2008, after increasing its capacity.
In this sense, it has the largest capacity zeolite processing and organic agriculture-friendly, non-synthetic, natural originated fertilizer production facility in Turkey. The zeolite type we have been processing is the clinoptilolite form of the zeolite having 42 types in the nature. 62% of the zeolite (clinoptilolite) reserve of the world is in Turkey. Areas of Usage

Advantages of Clinoptilolite
Soil Reclamation
By means of its high anion-cation changing capacity, clinoptilolite changes the PH instability in the soil from acidic and basic environment to neutral environment. It provides the excess ammonium not used by the soil to be held and absorbed in its structure. Through its completely organic structure, it increases the organic substance ratio in the soil. In the sandy structured soils with high water permeability, it forms a unique environment and provides plant roots to be formed more orderly and to hold on better. Water Conservation
It can capture water between 85% and 135% by means of its ability to absorb water within its body. If the ambience temperature increases, it provides continuous annealing of the soil by moistening the soil through perspiration. By this way, water saving up to 46% is obtained as water is prevented to vaporize or mix with the ground water. Fertilizer Conservation
In case fertilizer applied to the field is not dissolved by rain or irrigation water in 7 days as from the application date, approximately 27% - 35% of the nitrogen it contains will incur evaporation loss. Through the canaliculi and chambers in its structure, Zeolite captures the main nutritional elements, N-P-K (nitrogen – phosphor – potassium), and macro-micro nutritional elements dissolved in water in a specific amount in its canaliculi and chambers together with water. For example, 100 kg zeolite absorbs 5 kg. pure nitrogen, and slowly gives it back to the plant roots through perspiration. In this way, 18% - 25% saving is obtained in fertilizer usage.
75% of the world is covered by waters. However, only 3% of these waters are usable water reserves. When it is considered that water reserves dramatically decrease due to the global warming, in the near future it will be much better understood how an essential element clinoptilolite is for the humanity and the food sector, which is 100% natural and has no negative effects on the living organisms’ health. With the purpose of the testing and use of our product of which we strongly recommend the use in the arid areas or the areas tend to be arid where annual precipitation is below 500 mm, our company, OR-TAR Organic Agriculture Products, shall provide all kinds of technical supports and conveniences.
Zeolite is a natural mineral forage additive substance used for all animals. It is used by being mixed with forage in order to obtain the highest efficiency from nourishing minerals. Zeolite’s most distinctive features are capturing and holding water and gas, and changing ions. Because of its high ammonium holding capacity, it acts as a nitrogen reservoir in the digestive system of an animal and gradually gives this nitrogen to the animal body. Therefore, it provides a faster growth rate through more efficient usage of the ammonium ions resulting from the breaking down of the digested rations which provide the formation of the animal proteins.
