🌾 Silicon: The Overlooked Crop Nutrient 🌾

Many crops take up more silicon than phosphorus—yet it's rarely considered when designing fertility programs to maximize yields.

What silicon does:
✅ Strengthens stalks, reducing lodging
✅ Improves drought tolerance
✅ Boosts natural pest & disease resistance
✅ Enhances nutrient uptake

The source matters: Wollastonite delivers large amounts of plant-available silicon along with calcium and magnesium.

In this case, you can’t have too much of a good thing, as extra silicon stays in the soil until it is needed by the crop.

Ready to add silicon to your soil program?

Through our partnership with UNDO, eligible Ontario farmers can access wollastonite at no cost (except for trucking). Wollastonite is also available for purchase directly from our mine site.

🌍 What is Enhanced Rock Weathering? 🌍

You've heard about our free wollastonite program—but what's the science behind it?

ERW = Nature's Carbon Removal, Accelerated

🌧️ Rain + CO₂ + Crushed Wollastonite = Permanent Carbon Storage

See the diagram? That's Enhanced Rock Weathering in action.

Why spread wollastonite?
✅ Improves soil pH
✅ Releases calcium, silicon & magnesium
✅ Strengthens crops naturally
✅ Boosts pest & disease resistance

The Big Picture:
According to the IPCC, ERW could remove 4 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually if scaled—that's 40% of global carbon removal targets. And ERW is shovel-ready, we’re doing it!

Your Farm. Stabilize pH and strengthen crops at No Cost (except trucking).

🌾 Ontario Farm Case Study 🌾

Simon Ffrench, Cookstown Greens: "I wouldn't want to do without it—we have fewer concerns about crops overall."

Key Result: Near elimination of beet leaf spot disease following wollastonite application.

The Science: Silicon in wollastonite strengthens plant cell walls, creating natural barriers against fungal pathogens like leaf spot.
