7) When Aso limonite is used as water purifier in the pond, river, lake, it absorbs excessive phosphorus and supplies necessary minerals. Aso limonite enhances decomposition of algae and increases transparency of water with enhancing activity of bacteria.
8) Not only in water purification, but also in improving water quality, Aso limonite works well. It enhances growth of fish and prawn, reduces disease.

Limonite was produced in the 300000years history in nature.

[6] Benefit and how to use

 

1. Major benefit
Aso limonite has been used for more than 20 years in Japan, and it has been officially registered in the ministry of agriculture. The safety has been proved in the research by Cornell University of the United States. In Japan the major usage is supplement of iron and mineral. No toxicity has been detected in the test of ophthalmology, haematology and histopathology (repeated oral administration toxicity test with rat for 13 weeks).

We export limonite to Asian countries as well.

2. How to use
1) In the usage for the additive in animal feed, 0.5% in the total volume is recommended. Test has proved that limonite reduced death ratio of pig when used for the mother pig was pregnant. Another test has proved that the weight of pig increased when the baby pig ate limonite for 3 weeks after being born.
2) Too much supply of fertilizer sometimes increases hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, it prevents healthy growth of the root of plant. However, if you apply limonite 20-40g per 1 square meter, it absorbs toxic gas and enhances growth of root. It also supplies indispensable micro elements such as magnesium and calcium to the plant, sometimes increases sugar content.
3) If you use limonite in the pond and river where water-bloom spreads bad smell, limonite absorbs phosphorus and prevents growth of water-bloom. It works well in improving water quality.

Fine powder of limonite. It works great with small amount.

3. Figure and fact
(according to the research and test of Kumamoto livestock test center)
1) Reduction of death ratio of baby pig.
2) Enhance of growth of animal.
3) Increase of weight of baby pig when they ate limonite for 3 weeks after being born.
4) Similar effects in fish, prawn and chicken.
5) Reduction of organ weight of fish.
6) Increase of flesh of fish (from 38% to 42% on the average)
* In the feed, 40% are fish powder and 5% was limonite
7) According to the test of prawn farm in Thailand, limonite could reduce 100ppm hydrogen sulfide into 0 in 10 hours.
8) Limonite could increase sugar content 1.03%, sourness 0.18% in a vineyard in Kumamoto.
9) According to the test of rice growth in China, limonite enhanced growth of rice and made it taller. The root of rice also got longer and deeper.

Light Mineral is one of the best selling items in Japan.

4. Precaution
Please do not INHALE, don’t PUT IN THE EYE and SKIN. Please prepare for limonite in the area well ventilated. (from MSDS)
