Gypsum

Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral that has proven to be a valuable asset in enhancing soil health and fertility. This cost-effective soil conditioner is particularly useful in correcting high soil sodium levels, as it helps to remove excess sodium and improve the natural structure of soil.

One of the key benefits of using gypsum is its ability to loosen heavy soils and clay, allowing water to penetrate and aerate the soil. This, in turn, helps to create a more hospitable environment for plants to grow and thrive. Additionally, gypsum is an excellent source of calcium and sulphate, both of which are essential nutrients that are readily available for plant uptake.

Unlike other soil conditioners, gypsum has the added advantage of not affecting the intrinsic pH balance of the soil. Instead, it helps to raise the calcium content in the soil, thereby promoting healthy plant growth and development. This is particularly beneficial for crops that require high levels of calcium, such as tomatoes, peppers, and melons.

Gypsum is also effective in eliminating surface crusting, which can occur when soil particles are compacted and dried out. By breaking up the soil and improving its structure, gypsum helps to prevent this problem and ensures that water is able to penetrate the soil more easily.
