·Gypsum can improve water and root infiltration in sodic soils Sodic soils are very uncommon in Michigan Sodic soils are high in sodium low in calcium and have problems with water and root penetration due to the effects sodium has on structure The calcium in gypsum along with drainage and tillage has been shown to reduce sodium levels in
·Soils with high exchangeable sodium contents have structural and hydrological problems that limit agricultural productivity Gypsum is commonly applied as an ameliorant but there are few field studies into its long term > 10 years effects on soil chemistry especially at depths greater than m and no long term validation of the gypsum requirement model
·The salinization of soil is one of the major global problems affecting grain productivity and the quality of the environment Singh 2016 Around one billion hectares of saline alkaline soil can be located in more than 100 countries Liu et al 2018; Qadir et al 2006; Wong et al 2010; Xia et al 2019 The saline alkali land in China is widely distributed and primarily
Gypsum is not acid soluble and will not change the soil pH It helps to shift the Ca and Mg levels in soil and offers a readily available form of sulfate sulfur a valuable secondary nutrient that benefits the soil and crop The sulfate in gypsum binds with excess Mg in the soil to form soluble Epsom salt which moves lower into the soil profile
·Though alkali soils in arid and semi arid regions contain both amorphous and precipitated CaCO 3 and many Ca containing minerals yet these do not directly help in reclamation This is due to high pH of alkali soils where solubility of calcite g L −1 at 20 °C is practically negligible
·In neutral to alkaline soils which most sodic soils are lime is not very soluble so little calcium is released to be of use in displacing sodium decreased down the profile even at 70cm depth Figure 2 The gypsum dump soil was no longer sodic ESP more than six per cent to 40cm depth The high gypsum rate also increased the calcium
·alkaline soils are widespread throughout south eastern Australia High limits theaccumulation andretention of organic carbon C thus availability of nutrients to crops and is also associated with various elemental deficiencies and toxicities that restrict crop productivity environments and often with high rates of gypsum 10

·Purpose This research presents experimental investigation into the performance improvement of dredged sediment DS stabilization with ternary alkali activated materials AAMs based on fly ash FA ground granulated blast furnace slag GGBS and desulfurization gypsum DG for use as embankment fill materials Methods The performance of stabilized DS was
·Purpose For an alkaline saline region in Northwest China we examined the responses of soil microbial communities to flue gas desulfurization gypsum by products FGDB a new ameliorant for alkaline saline soils In 2009 and 2010 we collected soils from 0 20 cm and 20 40 cm depths along an experimental FGDB gradient 0 and kg

·Agricultural gypsum is a natural rock powder used loosen heavy Agricultural gypsum also works as a soil amendment to correct high soil sodium Supplement calcium and sulphates in a form readily available to plants; Improve the structure of alkaline soils by removing excess sodium; Eliminate surface crusting Additional information
·The most effective way to tackle subsurface acidity is to physically mix a liming agent into the acid layers As top dressing lime and waiting for it to move deeper of its own accord takes years and where lime cannot be mixed to depth or is considered too expensive when transporting long distances usually because there is cheaper gypsum nearby some growers
·Alkali soils are characterized by variable EC e high pHs > and high exchangeable sodium percentage ESP >15 These soils have abundance of carbonates and bicarbonates of sodium calcium and magnesium as against chlorides and sulphates in the saline soils High exchangeable sodium high soil pH and low organic
·Last but not least Gypsum has been used for more than 200 years as a soil amendment and fertiliser Indeed it improves water penetration and workability of impermeable sodic alkali soils; it softens soils with a high clay content; it helps neutralise soil acidity; and it adds plant nutrients Calcium and Sulphur VI Gypsum Recycling

·Gypsum application reduces the levels of Al 3 and Mg 2 and increased soil pH the levels of Ca 2 and S SO4 2 Leandro et al 2014 The effect of gypsum on soil nature and Barley as well as
·1 Introduction Globally salinized soil accounts for approximately 25% of all land area and is widely distributed across more than 100 countries and regions Xia et al Citation 2019 Moreover the area of saline alkali land continues to grow at an annual rate of between 1 × 10 4 and 15 × 10 4 km 2 Ashraf Citation 2009; Spano et al Citation 2013
·Alkaline soil contains high levels of bicarbonates and carbonate salts which can inhibit the uptake of essential nutrients by plants such as iron and zinc Identifying too alkaline soil early on is important for taking corrective measures Symptoms of struggling plants such as yellowing leaves or stunted growth might lead one to conduct a
·Lime and gypsum are common soil amendments and many homeowners tend to get confused about what each does for turfgrass and the lawn issues each amendment addresses Conversely if your soil is alkaline you shouldn t spread any lime instead your lawn might benefit from an application of Sulphur to nudge the soil pH in the right
