This study aimed to test the efficiency of blends of silicate agrominerals as K sources for soybean crops. The experiment was conducted in the surroundings of Embrapa Cerrados, Planaltina – DF (TN: city in the Midwest, Brazil), in two field areas with similar climate conditions and different soil types: a medium texture soil and a clay soil. The ...
Removing carbon through rock dust application on crop land. During the next session, speakers presented ten studies examining the use of rock dust on soil for CO 2 removal. Since the most likely way to apply rock dust on soil is in the process of farming, most of these studies looked at rock dust applied to crop soil.
I am lucky to have very fine rock dust. If yours are more like sand, you can use clay instead. You need your rockdust or clay to be dried and crushed into a fine powder. Do this: take some of the rockdust, this one doesnt have to be dry, and mix it with water to something as a yoghurt consistency.Vegans as me can make soya-yoghurt consistensy.
Carrots planted earlier, in soil not yet remineralized, but otherwise more improved, are shown at the right for comparison. Dust obtained from a mixture of rock types would have even more dramatic results, according to Weaver and Hamaker. These results were typical for all crops receiving rock dust in our 1985 garden.

How Much Carbon Can Rock Dust Capture? A recent study by scientists at Yale University, Georgia Tech, and Texas A&M has shown that the large-scale deployment of ERW could capture as much as 215 gigatons of CO 2 by 2080. This would play a significant part in staying below the 1.5 o C global warming threshold set by the IPCC. A …

Matteo regularly integrates the use of rock dust with a series of preparations containing prebiotics (substances absorbed by the organism and used by the intestinal flora) and probiotics (nonpathogenic living microorganisms, including some commensal bacterial flora) such as biofertilizers and Bokashi preparation (Bokashi is a Japanese word meaning …
Rock dust in the soils: The underlying processes. Prof. Manning's interest in rock dust goes beyond fertilizer. Rock dust is also an effective means of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for long periods of time in the soil through a process called carbon sequestration. This occurs in two ways—weathering and carbonation.
