Agricultural Gypsum Organic 50KG

Key Benefits:

• Improves Soil Structure: Enhances water infiltration and root penetration by breaking up compacted soils.

• Provides Essential Nutrients: Supplies calcium and sulfur, vital for plant growth and development.

• Reduces Soil Salinity: Displaces sodium ions in sodic soils, improving soil permeability and reducing salinity.

• Alleviates Aluminum Toxicity: Mitigates aluminum toxicity in acidic soils by providing calcium ions that bind with aluminum.

• Enhances Water Use Efficiency: Improves soil structure, leading to more efficient water use, especially beneficial during drought conditions.

Application Methods:

• Broadcast Application: Spread gypsum evenly over the soil surface and incorporate into the top 5–10 cm using tillage equipment.

• Incorporation into Topsoil: For sodic soils, apply 75% of the required gypsum to the top 30 cm and 25% to the top 10 cm.

• Deep Placement: Inject gypsum into the subsoil at depths of 15–40 cm using specialized machinery.

• Dissolution in Irrigation Water: Dissolve finely crushed gypsum in irrigation water and apply directly to crops.

• Application to Hay Fields: Apply 1–2 tons per acre every 1–2 years to improve soil structure and promote deeper rooting.

Recommended Application Rates:

• Field Crops: 2.5–5 tons per hectare.

• Horticultural Crops: 7.5–10 tons per hectare.

• Sodic Soils: 5 tons per hectare.
  

Specific Crops:

• Canola: 0.5–1 ton per hectare.

• Lucerne: 0.4 tons per hectare after every third cut.

• Wheat: Up to 2.5 tons per hectare.

• Chickpea: Up to 2.5 tons per hectare.

• Faba Bean: 2.5–10 tons per hectare.

• Rice: Up to 2 tons per hectare.

• Corn: Up to 8 tons per hectare.

• Potatoes: 5 tons per hectare or more.

Timing of Application

• Pre-Planting: Apply gypsum before planting and incorporate it into the soil to improve soil structure and nutrient availability.

• Post-Harvest: Apply after harvest to replenish soil nutrients and prepare for the next planting season.

• Regular Applications: Gypsum's effects are not permanent; regular applications may be necessary to maintain soil health.

Important Considerations:

• Soil Testing: Conduct soil tests to determine existing nutrient levels and pH before applying gypsum. This ensures appropriate application rates and prevents over-application.

• Avoid Over-Application: Excessive gypsum can lead to nutrient imbalances and negatively impact plant growth.

• Regular Applications: Gypsum's effects are not permanent; regular applications may be necessary to maintain soil health.
