Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum)

Using Gypsum (calcium Sulphate) improves soil structure: Gypsum provides calcium, which, flocculate clays in acid and alkaline soil. A flocculated clays form friable soil with improved soil structure and tilth. It also allows for deeper, healthier root development and water penetration.

Benefits

• Lowers Soil Compaction: Gypsum-treated soil combined with organic matter can soften the soil and make it easier to till; crops react better.

• Prevents Water Run-off and Erosion: It is a defense against unnecessary water runoff from particularly big storms which create erosion.

• Betters Soil Composition: Gypsum affords root growth and air and water movement.

• Converts Salty Soils: An economical method to resolve salty soils.

• Ties Organic Matter to Clay: The importance of organic matter is magnified when it is dispensed with this mineral.

• Reduces Soil Crusting: No crust formation allows more and faster seed emergence and a couple days earlier to harvest and market.

• Improves Water Use Efficiency: Gypsum increases the efficient use of water by crops. In periods of drought, this is exceedingly important.

• Lowers pH in Soil: Gypsum lowers the pH of soils, making it good for the growth of almost all crop plants.

• Reduces Soil Water-Logging: Gypsum improves the capability of soil to drain.

• Helps Soil Conditioners Perform More Efficiently: Increases the results of water-soluble conditioners used as amendments to improve soil composition.
