Wollastonite is a natural calcium silicate mineral and is unique among soil amendments as a source of silicon and carbon-neutral calcium. Research has shown plants supplemented with silicon have increased yields, even in prime growing conditions. Supplemental silicon strengthens plant cell walls and improves resistance to insects and disease. Silicon also stimulates plants natural immune responses, increasing the production of resins and terpenes and improving drought/stress resistance.

Gypsum
Gypsum contains calcium which plays a major role in the physiology of the plant by strengthening the plant's physical structure and helping develop protection from diseases. In the soil calcium aids in the reduction of soil compaction and provides a better environment for beneficial bacteria. Some research even suggests that calcium plays a role in reducing weed populations.
