Why Gypsum Works in Your Soil: Part 3 Gypsum Improves
Oct 15, 2015October 15, 2015 Gypsum has been used for centuries to reclaim sodium affected soils (alkali soils). It is effective since it has good solubility regardless of soil pH. In fact, its solubility is enhanced in sodic soils. Some data would suggest that the solubility of gypsum in alkali soils is four times greater.

Gypsum as a soil additive: use it or lose it? MSU Extension
Feb 22, 2011The calcium in gypsum, along with drainage and tillage, has been shown to reduce sodium levels in sodic soils. Reduced sodium levels will improve soil structure resulting in greater water and root penetration in sodic soils. Gypsum has been shown to be effective at treating aluminum toxicity on soils with a pH lower than 4.5.

Gypsum as an agricultural product Soil Science Society
Feb 06, 2019Gypsum will change soil pH very slightly, yet it can promote better root development of crops, especially in acid soils, even without a big pH change. This is because the gypsum counteracts the toxic effect of soluble aluminum on root development. Aluminum occurs naturally in soil and often isn’t a problem for crops.

Should You Use Gypsum for Soil? The Family Handyman
Dec 02, 2021You should definitely try gypsum if a soil test indicates your clay soil is at or near neutral in acidity with a high level of available sodium. If your clay soil has a white crust on the surface, assume you have extra sodium. Gypsum is also helpful where dry clay soils are hard to work or crusty on top.

Soil pHDoes Gypsum Help? Read below to find out.
Jan 15, 2014Gypsum will not reduce soil pH. Calcium in the gypsum will displace H but the H remains in the soil solution so there is no change in soil pH due to gypsum per se. In very acid sub soils (pH 5.0 or less) aluminum becomes more soluble and is toxic to roots tips. Calcium leaches into the subsoil and displaces some of the Al so it leaches below.

Why are my soils so alkaline? Can I lower my soil's pH?
Look for plants that are more efficient at taking up micronutrients (especially iron and zinc) from alkaline soils, and make sure to add regularly the nutrients those plants need which are less available in high pH, calcium carbonate-rich soils such as phosphorus, iron, and sometimes zinc.

Gypsum: an old product with a new use Iowa State University
Gypsum is a fertilizer product and supplies the crop-available form of calcium (Ca 2 +) and sulfur (SO 4 2-). If these forms are deficient in soil, then crop productivity will benefit if gypsum is applied. This is a big "if" for Iowa soils. Research has not shown deficiency of Ca and normally any potential problem with low Ca levels is taken

Gypsum and Lime Calcium Sulfate Soil Amendment
Gypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO 4 2H 2 0). Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, such as GYPSOIL ® brand gypsum, is a co-product material derived from the scrubbing of flue gas emissions in coal-burning power plants. Gypsum can be spread with lime and litter spreaders. Gypsum is not acid soluble and will not change the soil pH.

The Use of Gypsum and Lime on Lawns and Gardens
Jul 21, 2000Gypsum provides little or no benefit to most Iowa soils. Lime is applied to acid soils to raise the soil pH. Soil pH is an important chemical property of the soil. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14 and is used to indicate the relative acidity or alkalinity of the soil. A pH less than 7 is acid, while that above 7 is alkaline.

When gypsum is applied to soil with pH 5.5, yields are lower than the no-gypsum control. At pH 5.0, it does not matter (see Table 3-3 on page 25 of 2019 Peanut Information .)
