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
The Effects of Gypsum as a Soil Conditioner and Fertilizer Gypsum, a naturally occurring mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O), is widely recognized for its role in agriculture as both a soil conditioner and a source of essential nutrients. Its application can significantly enhance the physical properties of soil, promote plant growth, and provide […]
Gypsum Effect in Reducing Aluminum Toxicity
Effect of Gypsum in Reducing Aluminum Toxicity Almost 50% of the potentially arable lands in the world are faced with the acidification problem. Use of the agricultural gypsum in the soils with the high aluminum concentration, such as the soils in lands under the tea cultivation and those near dried up swamps used in the […]
Saline and alkaline soils and their grading
Amending saline and alkaline soils procedure The main problem in amending alkaline soils is their degraded structure and toxicity resulting from the sodium presence. First step in amending such soils is to apply large amounts of calcium in form of small calcium sulfate particles. (several tons per hectare) to displace sodium by calcium. The smaller […]
Agricultural gypsum benefits
Gypsum benefits And importance of its application Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, and it has been a crucial component in agriculture for centuries. Its historical use as a fertilizer dates back over 250 years, making it one of the first fertilizers employed by farmers worldwide. The significance of gypsum […]
Agricultural gypsum Effects on soil salinity and pH
Soil salinity and pH, which are among the very important factors in agricultural efficiency, will be discussed next Agricultural gypsum effects on soil salinity Water and soil salinity inflict considerable losses on agricultural and horticultural production. Among the dominant soil cations, sodium ions have a direct relationship with salinity. i. e, increases in soil salinity […]
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. […]
