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 […]
Agricultural Gypsum Effects on Soil Moisture
Effects of agricultural gypsum on soil moisture and Its use as an Agricultural Fertilizer Gypsum application shortens the time that must pass after irrigation before plowing the land. Lands to which gypsum has been added can be plowed at a higher percent soil moisture content without compacting the soil or degrading its structure. In other […]
Gypsum effects on saline and sodic soils
Gypsum effects on saline and sodic soils Soils become saline in many ways. Weathering of parent rock and lack of salt transfer due to low precipitation are the main reasons for primary soil salinity in arid and semi-arid regions. Salt accumulation caused by poor irrigation management and or use of low-quality water are among the […]
Adding agricultural gypsum rules to almond orchards
Using agricultural gypsum in almond orchards Using gypsum in almond orchards and the addition of agricultural gypsum to its soil, like other modification operations, should occur during the dormant period of trees in autumn and winter. However, gypsum can be added to the orchard soil in any season of year if the required conditions are […]
9 Things to Remember When Buying Gypsum
Important Buying Gypsum Tips For buying gypsum pay attention to these items: 1_ The higher the percentage of sand in gypsum is the lower its quality will be and vice versa. 2_ The lower the pH value of gypsum is the higher its quality will be. 3_ Salinity (expressed as EC) is the most […]
Agricultural gypsum effect on irrigation efficiency
Using agricultural gypsum effect on increasing irrigation efficiency Applying and adding agricultural gypsum to the soil, especially in arid regions, increases irrigation water efficiency. this is done by increasing water absorption coefficient, increasing soil hydraulic conduction, increasing soil moisture storage. and also root growth to lower soil depths. Gypsum-treated soils store between 25 and 70% […]
Agricultural gypsum effect on plants
Agricultural gypsum affects plants (Agricultural gypsum effect on the quality of fruits and plants) The application of plaster increases the quality of fruits and prevents some of the plant diseases. We see lack of Calcium in most of the growing fruits. For harvesting fruits with appropriate quality, enough Calcium is necessary. Therefore, enough Calcium must […]
Gypsum Effects as a Soil Conditioner
Effects of Gypsum as a Soil Conditioner on Physical Properties of the Soil _ Improved surface crusting and prevention of the pore clogging by clay. _ Increased seed germination rates due to the improved soil structure. _ Enhanced rooting caused by the improved soil structure. _ Reduced erosion and runoff because of the greater water […]
