Agricultural gypsum, calcium and sulfur source
Agricultural gypsum is a soil conditioner and a source of calcium and sulfur Agricultural gypsum as a useful soil improver has been used for many years to fertilize the land. It is a very soft mineral composed of the calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 2H2O). The Greeks and the Romans were the first to use this […]
Agricultural gypsum and soil properties
Agricultural gypsum (calcium sulfate) is an excellent improver of the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Gypsum is used in agriculture to improve Gypsum effects soil physical properties: Gypsum applications can reduce dispersion and promote the stabilization of the soil structure (flocculation). The benefits obtained with the application of gypsum in this type of […]
5 agricultural gypsum benefits
Agricultural gypsum is an important source of calcium and sulfur for crops. Not only is it easy for plants to absorb, but it also helps improve soil quality. Here are five essential agricultural gypsum benefits. Agricultural gypsum Benefits: 1. Provides calcium and sulfur for plant nutrition. “Plants are becoming increasingly deficient in sulfur (S) and […]
Agricultural gypsum as calcium and sulfur fertilizer
Application rate of agricultural gypsum as calcium and sulfur fertilizer As mentioned at the beginning, gypsum is an excellent source of calcium and sulfur. Sulfur is a nutrient that is also often deficient in the soil due to a combination of factors, these include increased crop yields that translate into higher rates of sulfur extraction […]
Agricultural gypsum improves soil chemical properties
Agricultural gypsum improves soil chemical properties The soil chemical properties that are improved with the application of the gypsum include these. 1) Mitigation of subsoil acidity and aluminum toxicity. favoring rooting and the ability of the plants to adequately absorb water and nutrients during the periods of drought. 2) As an improver of sodic soils. […]
What is agricultural gypsum? – 2 important benefits
for answering this question that what is agricultural gypsum, we should say that agricultural gypsum is a very soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 2H2O) that has been used by farmers for a long time. It was widely applied as a fertilizer in Europe in the 18th century, even the Greeks and Romans […]
Agricultural Gypsum Comparison with Other Fertilizers
Comparison of Agricultural Gypsum with Other Fertilizers with Respect to Time and Method of Application We know that soils require amendments with the passage of time. so that their quality and hence that of the crops grown in them improve. Agricultural gypsum can be considered a material for amending soil structure and reducing its salinity. […]
Agricultural Gypsum effects in Managing Soil Salinity
Managing Soil Salinity Soil salinity, which affects a considerable part of cultivatable lands, is one of the factors that limit production of many agronomic and horticultural crops. Various methods have been used for a long time to reduce the impacts of soil salinity stress, but the definitive effectiveness of some of them has not been […]
The amazing gypsum effects on soil physical properties
The amazing effects of gypsum on soil physical properties Suitable soil physical properties are one of the most important factors in obtaining maximum yield. If the soil lacks the proper physical properties for crop growth, application of fertilizers and foliar nutrient sprays will have very little effect on crop yield. Unfortunately, farmers in many cases […]
Salinity stress and Gypsum effect on plants
Gypsum effects on plants Effect of Agricultural Gypsum on Improvement of the Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in Leaves and Seeds under Salinity Stress Saline irrigated water causes an increase in osmotic pressure, an imbalance between nutrients, and toxicity of some particular nutrients. Thus restricting plant growth. Salinity shifts the selective absorption of ions by the […]
