This week we added two studies to our growing agricultural research database. These two studies are a few years old, but the concept is a new and exciting discovery for us. Ready? Fertilizing with silicon has been shown to increase the number of natural predator insects (the insects that EAT the pests) on the silicon fertilized plants. […]
Canadian Wollastonite is now available in retail centres and landscape depots As the environmental benefits of wollastonite continue to accumulate, especially around carbon capture, we developed a retail brand to bring the benefits of Canadian Wollastonite into broader markets. CW Grow is now for sale in Eastern and Central Ontario at retail stores and in […]
This post features an ongoing research project with the University of Guelph focused on mineral carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. The results are exciting to say the least. We are helping to make a contribution towards the new science of turning carbon into rock, known as mineral carbon sequestration. This research is showing that when […]
Wollastonite is actively used in forestry research (for over 20 years in New Hampshire) with some profound benefits: Increases tree & shrub growth to reverse forest decline Enhances the health of coniferous and deciduous trees Cleans water balances acidic ph and lowers heavy metals and phosphorus levels No adverse effects observed to date Reduced soil […]
How U of G engineers are reducing climate change by trapping carbon dioxide in soils. Human actions, such as a gas-guzzling morning commute, have led to significant increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. In turn, high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere block the sun’s heat from escaping and is a recognized cause of global […]
