Gypsum effect application on soil fertility
Gypsum effect application on soil fertility If confirmed by laboratory results, the application of gypsum is not only necessary but should also be prioritized among farming practices, despite the associated costs. Gypsum, primarily composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, plays a crucial role in soil fertility enhancement. When applied, it increases the calcium concentration in the […]
Agricultural gypsum particle size distribution
Agricultural gypsum particle size distribution When using gypsum, the particle size of the gypsum used must be considered. Smaller gypsum particles dissolve faster. Of course, given the cost of this work, the size choice depends on economic issues. and this does not mean that the use of powder agricultural gypsum can have the best result […]
Gypsum properties suitable for soil amendment
Suitable gypsum properties Gypsum, no matter how it is used, must be applied with the heavy irrigation. So that the sodium released from the exchange surfaces leaves the root zone along with the irrigation water. Important point is water volume required for dissolving specific gypsum amount usually calculated based on gypsum solubility in free water. […]
Applying agricultural gypsum rules
Applying agricultural gypsum rules When and how to apply agricultural gypsum Applying agricultural gypsum is a crucial practice for improving soil conditions and enhancing crop yields. As with other soil amendments, the timing of gypsum application plays a significant role in its effectiveness. It is generally recommended to apply gypsum during periods of plant dormancy, […]
Gypsum, the soil conditioner
Gypsum, the soil conditioner Correcting materials used for soils with high magnesium or sodium can basically be divided into two main groups. The first group –e. g. gypsum- add “calcium” ions to soil solution directly, and the second group –e. g. various acids or sulfur- reduces soil acidity which results in lime dissolution in soil […]
Soil recognition and analysis
Soil recognition and analysis, after the use of agricultural gypsum Soil Analysis and Plant Nutrient Needs Soil analysis is a crucial tool for determining the specific nutrient requirements of plants. By conducting a thorough soil analysis, you can identify the materials and nutrients that your plants need, as well as the extent to which these […]
Agricultural gypsum application in saffron fields
Agricultural gypsum application benefits Investigation of the mechanism of agricultural gypsum in reducing the soil salinity of saffron fields shows that there is no time limit for adding gypsum to the soil and it can be done at any time. We should also add gypsum to the soil when heavy irrigation is possible. If the […]
Gypsum effect on sodium soils modification
Sodium soils modification According to the definition of the American Salinity Laboratory (1954), sodium soil is soil whose percentage of exchangeable sodium (ESP) is greater than 15%. But in a study by Norscott and Chisen (1972), the researchers showed that if the soil ESP was greater than 6, it would affect the physical properties of […]
Gypsum and saline and alkaline waters usage
lands irrigation procedure Use of gypsum and saline and alkaline waters used to irrigate lands Irrigation of agricultural lands using saline and alkaline waters will reduce the quality of soils in these lands. so that after a few years of irrigation with saline water, it will cause the non-use of such lands. In such cases, […]
Adding Gypsum to Lime-Rich Soils Impacts
Impacts of Adding Gypsum to Lime-Rich Soils Gypsum increases the quality of products Gypsum is one of the best sources of calcium and sulfate for plants. that need calcium, including peanuts, tomatoes, wheat, corn, citrus, and so on. However, calcium deficiency is evident in most calcareous soils. where it is among the leading cause of […]
