Benefits & Uses of Gypsum
Agricultural gypsum works as a soil amendment, conditioner, and fertilizer to improve soil naturally.
Improves Soil Structure
Soluble calcium flocculates swelling clay soils, allowing better air and water movement while reducing compaction.
Supplies Calcium & Sulfur
Provides readily available calcium and sulfate sulfur without raising soil pH. Helps correct subsoil aluminum toxicity.
Stabilizes Nitrogen
Helps reduce volatilization loss from urea and other nitrogen fertilizers.
Reduces Phosphorus Runoff
Helps keep dissolved phosphorus in the soil where plants can use it. Research shows significant reductions in soluble reactive phosphorus.
Increases Water Infiltration
Reduces surface crusting and improves water movement into and through the soil profile.
Supports Sustainable Farming
May qualify for cost-sharing under NRCS Conservation Practice Standard 333.
