Beneficial effects ofDETB UILD-150 on soil &environment:
Zeolite of whichDETBUlLD-150 is made ofhas been found tohave
followingbenefits for soil& environment.
1. DETBUlLD-150helps to improvethe health of animalsand fish,
it acts as carrierforproteins andvitamins.
2. DETBUILD-150improves soil condition and ensures growth of
better crops according to the Japanese researchers. Carrots
