🌾 Agricultural Gypsum!
Agricultural Gypsum is a natural soil amendment made from calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O). It is widely used to improve soil structure, enhance nutrient availability, and reclaim saline or sodic soils. � What Is It!
Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral commonly found in sedimentary deposits. Unlike lime, it does not significantly change soil pH, making it ideal when calcium is needed without altering acidity.
🌱 Benefits of Agricultural Gypsum Improves Soil Structure Reduces soil compaction Enhances water infiltration Improves root penetration Reclaims Saline & Sodic Soils Replaces excess sodium (Na⁺) with calcium (Ca²⁺) Helps wash salts below the root zone Enhances Nutrient Availability Supplies essential Calcium (Ca) and Sulfur (S) Improves nitrogen uptake Reduces Surface Crusting Helps seeds germinate more easily Improves Crop Yield & Quality Commonly used for wheat, corn, cotton, vegetables, and fruit crops 🧪 Typical Composition Calcium (Ca): 20–23% Sulfur (S): 15–18% Purity varies depending on source
