Applying Wollastonite to Soil to Adjust pH and Suppress
Regardless of the application rates, wollastonite and limestone showed similar effects on soil chemistry and plant mineral composition. Pumpkin plants grown with the lower doses of wollastonite amendments (3.13 and 6.25 tons/acre) had the greatest tissue Si concentrations and demonstrated the greatest disease resistance.

The importance of agricultural lime | Carmeuse
Limestone. Generally speaking, there are two categories of agricultural lime: high-calcium lime and dolomitic lime. As the names suggest, the two types of agricultural lime reflect the mineral composition of the limestone used in their production. High-calcium (or hi-cal) lime is derived from limestone deposits that are almost entirely pure ...
