Connecting the dots – Synergy with Wollastonite, Plants & Soil

This unique study summarizes three previous studies highlighting the multiple benefits of growing plants with crushed silicates, focusing on wollastonite.       Here is a figure from this study showing how the three previous studies relate and demonstrate their findings :   Links to studies summarized above: Study 1: Co-Benefits of Wollastonite Weathering in […]

Lime with Wollastonite – An easier decision than you might think…

Wollastonite is the lime of the future. In the near future, lime applications will become unprofitable due to the carbon dioxide released from calcium carbonate. Wollastonite is a calcium silicate which quickly releases calcium, magnesium, and silicon in the soil and contains no carbon dioxide. Pound for pound, wollastonite has 44% more minerals, mainly silicon, […]

Wollastonite brings big ecosystem benefits at a landscape scale

  At high levels, aluminum can block the update of other nutrients leading to nutrient deficiencies for forest plants. In vertebrates like fish and humans, aluminum is toxic, especially to our brains. Soluble forms of aluminum increase in the soil as pH decreases when elements like calcium, magnesium and potassium are low. Unfortunately, as a […]

Wollastonite in Trees – Study Review

The lungs of the world, trees can quickly capture carbon just by growing. Wollastonite boosts tree growth and can lead to the capture of up to 8 kg of carbon dioxide for every 1 kg of applied wollastonite. Going beyond carbon capture, this study speaks to how wollastonite can be beneficial to a wide range […]
