Zeolites are porous aluminosilicates with a crystalline structure that contain a system of interconnected chambers and channels. The geometrical parameters of zeolites are one of the most important characteristics responsible for their adsorption capacity. As a result, zeolites can not only serve as a sorbent for pollutants in the environment, but also as a reservoir of water and nutrients for plants (anions and cations). Due to their unique properties, zeolites have become more and more popular in recent years and find practical application in many branches of the economy. The study results to date prove that zeolites are safe for the environment and living organisms, and their multidirectional use in agriculture results primarily from their high porosity, sorption-ion-exchange capacity and well-developed specific surface area. A direct application of zeolites to soil not only has a beneficial effect on the soil sorption capacity, but also reduces soil acidification and increases the efficiency of nutrient use. Better utilisation of nutrients from fertilisers gives higher yields and reduces nutrient dispersion in the environment. Another advantage of zeolites is that they can be obtained by synthesis from various waste materials (e.g. ashes), making their production cost relatively low. This meets the principles of sustainable development and is part of the closed-loop economy and the retardation of environmental resources. Given that zeolites are the subject of many researches, the present study was prepared as a review of the current possibilities of using these materials in agriculture, mainly for the production of fertilisers.
