Agricultural Gypsum

Agricultural Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate – CaSo⁴)

Building more productive soil naturally

Agricultural gypsum works as a soil amendment, conditioner and fertilizer to improve the soil.

Is gypsum a cost-effective solution for your calcium and sulfur needs? Check soil tests and consult your agronomist.

• Soluble Calcium flocculates swelling clay soils allowing air & water movement
• Sulfate form of Sulfur doesn’t acidify soil as it converts to the form plants use
• Displace magnesium on soil particles making it non-toxic and preventing dispersion
• Reduce subsoil alum toxicity with mobile calcium reaching subsoil levels
• Prevent dissolved phosphorus run off keeping it in the soil where plants can use it
• Stabilize nitrogen in Urea fertilizer and reduce volatilization

USA Gypsum comes in various forms and sizes to meet your application needs:

USA Gypsum agricultural products provide sulfur and calcium for a more healthy soil for your crops. Calcium improves soil structure, aeration and drainage, resulting in increased water infiltration and reduced soil surface crusting and improved seedling emergence. Gypsum also helps break up compacted soil critical for increasing rooting depth, stabilizes organic matter and decreases nitrogen loss to the atmosphere.
