Primary Values:

Recommended uses:

• Great for adding to soils in need of sulfur where a drop in pH is not desirable.
• Good to add to soils needing both sulfur and calcium.
• Ok to add to soils in need of calcium where an increase in pH is not desirable.
• Wonderful facilitator for removal of excessive levels of sodium or magnesium.

Best Practices:

• Use a soil test to determine if this gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) is the best amendment to use in your situation.
• Carefully follow the recommendations made on your laboratory test to achieve the desired results.
• Sulfate is water-soluble and as a consequence it will move through the soil very quickly in areas of high rainfall, under heavy irrigation practices, in sandy soils and in soils low in organic matter. Timing of application and other adjustments may need to be made too maximize value to the soil.
• Sulfur and Calicum Source. Most often used as a sulfur source because it has no liming value. It is important to work with recommendations of your agronomist to determine just how much gypsum is needed for your situation.
• Sodium/Magnesium Removal. Ask your agronomist to tell you how much gypsum to add, how deep to mix the gypsum, and how much good quality water you will need to apply to achieve the desired level of removal.
