Huplaso helps regenerate soils and improve yields.
Still underused in Canada, basalt is a promising solution to simultaneously remineralize soils, increase yields, and help capture atmospheric CO₂. In the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, and Australia, it is already recognized for its multiple benefits (linked to its mineral diversity) and its innovative responses to current challenges.
Our basalt is a volcanic rock powder sourced from New Brunswick. It is a certified organic mineral amendment that acts as a natural slow-release fertilizer. With its 57 minerals, it supports a core principle in agronomy and sustainable agriculture: feed the soil to better feed the plants. Instead of providing only a few short-term soluble nutrients, it remineralizes and regenerates the soil in depth, sustainably enriching its chemical and physical profile.
Along with improved growing conditions, plants also benefit from the protective effects of silicon against various stresses and aggressions. The result: higher yields!
Recognized agronomic mechanisms
Multi-mineral supply: more than 57 minerals and trace elements (Ca, Mg, Fe, K, Si, Zn, Cu, Mn, B…) essential for microbial activity and plant metabolism.
Biological effect: stimulates microbial life and supports the activity of beneficial fungi and bacteria, which are essential for soil mineralization and structure (humus creation).
Protective effect: the silicon in Huplaso plays a key role in strengthening plant resistance. It helps reinforce cell walls, reduce water loss through transpiration, and improve resistance to diseases, insects, and abiotic stresses (drought, wind, frost).
pH balance: the bases in basalt correct excessive acidity and bring the soil closer to the optimal range for nutrient uptake. Less need for liming!
Measured benefits
Trials conducted by several universities and growers have shown:
-
an increase in plant biomass
-
higher yields (10 to 30% in certain crops and conditions)
-
more vigorous foliage and better crop quality (size, density, flavor)
-
long-lasting effects: a single application works for several years, thanks to the slow release of minerals
A sustainable tool for all production systems
Huplaso is certified for organic farming (OMRI, Ecocert, Pro-Cert) and is suitable for organic farms as well as conventional or transitioning operations. Among its environmental benefits, basalt helps to:
-
reduce the need for and cost of chemical inputs
-
limit nutrient losses through leaching and their impacts
-
promote CO₂ sequestration in the soil through the silicate weathering process
A versatile and innovative solution
Available in powder and fine sand, in 1-ton tote bags and bulk formats, Huplaso integrates easily into existing agricultural practices. It is an innovative tool within a broader strategy of soil regeneration and climate change adaptation.
