Wollastonite heals soil by supplying abundant silicon in soluble forms to transform soluble aluminum from harmful to useful. The soil is an incredible system that constantly responds to changes in its environment. Aluminum is an element that inhibits healthy plant growth at high concentrations in the soil. But the soil system has multiple methods […]
Wollastonite was put to the test against 13 competitors for silicon release rate and amount. Wollastonite released more silicon faster than any other material tested. Full poster below. Dowload the full poster here: Bioavailable Silicon_ Release Rate from Additives & Substrates.pdf
Finding studies that look at the big picture impact across longer time scales can feel like looking for the needle in the haystack sometimes. This study is one of those needles, with many different angles summarized succinctly. This is the only study we have found testing wollastonite and lime in a no-till production system. This […]
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 […]
The Ontario Farmer is read weekly by just about every farmer in Ontario and covers a wide range of topics. We showed up on the front page recently with a well-written article about the potential for calcium silicates and accelerated weathering. This is an excellent summary and a great overview of exactly what happens when […]
