GYPSUM GRANULES
Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral that is widely used in agriculture as a soil amendment. Gypsum granules can help improve soil structure, nutrient availability, water retention, and plant growth. Here are some of the key benefits of using gypsum granules for plant and soil health:
- Crop Quality and Flavor: Granulated gypsum is an excellent way to ensure that your fruit and flowers develop the sweetest and most vibrant flavors possible. This is because calcium is an essential nutrient for fruit and flower development, and a deficiency can result in poor quality produce. By addressing calcium deficiencies, granulated gypsum can enhance the flavor and overall quality of your crops
- Ease Of Distribution: Granulated gypsum is easy to handle and apply, making it a convenient option for large-scale agricultural operations. The uniform size and shape of the granules also ensures even distribution throughout the soil
- Improved Soil Structure: Gypsum can help improve soil structure by breaking up heavy clay soils, improving drainage, and reducing soil erosion. It does this by binding soil particles together, creating larger soil aggregates that allow for better water and air movement through the soil
- Enhanced Water Retention: Gypsum can help improve the water-holding capacity of soil, reducing the need for irrigation and increasing plant drought tolerance. This is because gypsum granules can absorb and retain moisture, releasing it slowly to plants over time
- Improved Crop Yield: By improving soil structure, nutrient availability, and water retention, gypsum can help improve crop yield and quality. This is especially true for crops that are sensitive to soil compaction, such as alfalfa, corn, and wheat
- Reduced Soil Salinity: Gypsum can help reduce soil salinity by leaching excess salts from the soil. This is important in areas with high levels of soil salinity, where salt buildup can negatively impact plant growth and yield
Overall, using gypsum granules as a soil amendment can have numerous benefits for plant and soil health, leading to improved crop yield and quality. We recommend performing a complete soil or plant tissue analysis or using a home soil test kit before the application of this product
