Clubroot in canola can be reduced by up to 46% This article and study discuss the metabolic and physical changes that silicon provides canola. Silicon consistently shows improvements in plant metabolism enabling the plant to have more of the powerful molecules that attack the disease internally while at the same time silicon accumulates in cell […]
Here is an older article that provides an excellent summary of a longterm study looking at the impacts of wollastonite addition to a forest ecosystem. For example, the treated watershed produced 21% more wood over a 10 year period. That is a huge amount of organic carbon capture and represents a massive potential for forests […]
We have moved quickly this spring working with the great team at Trent University to get this innovative project up and running. Harnessing the Power of Wollastonite for Carbon Sequestration At the Trent University Experimental Farm, a research project is underway to harness the potential of wollastonite to combat climate change and revolutionize agriculture. Led […]
After an hour long radio feature we sparked interest in our local paper, the Review Mirror. The excitement is palpable when farmers and homeowners start to learn about and use wollastonite. We are working on some larger projects too, more on that soon. Here’s the article:
This article is from the higher-tech side of carbon sequestration solutions and features a process of storing carbon by cooling and pressurizing CO2 and then injecting it with water deep into the earth’s crust where it will react with silicates to form magnesium and calcium carbonates. These are minerals (rocks) that permanently store carbon deep […]
