In itia l production of K riliu m ,
the original synthetic soil condit
ioner, is being devoted to a special
formula developed for home gar­
deners which keeps the product dry
and free • flow ing and makes it
easier to mix w ith the soil.
I he new chemical, announced
by the company last December, is
now being produced in sufficient
quantities in the Long Beach plant
to supply the western market.
Examples of treated soil, top left
and untreated soil, top right, points
up dramatically the difference in
yield. D u rin g a ten day laboratory
experiment, only one out of five
kidney bean seeds grew in the
shrunken-untreated soil, while all
five planted in the K riliu m trea­
ted soil showed excellent growth.
Basic research shows that more
and larger tomatoes, above left,
and carrots, above right, can be ex­
pected from poor soil treated with
the co nd itio n er, since the new
chemical radically improves the
structure of the soil by formation
of soil aggregates which allow the
soil to absorb more water and
makes it easier to work during
the planting season.
