OBJECTIVES

To characterize natural zeolite and prepare

surfactant modified zeolite loaded with N, P, and K

(NPK-Organo-Zeolite).

To study the performance of NPK-Organo-Zeolite in

the tea-bag application

To compare the effectiveness of NPK-Organo-Zeolite in

the tea-bag application with the top dressing

application
