High-Quality Gypsum
Transform your soil with our premium gypsum, a versatile mineral compound essential for agriculture, construction, and industrial applications. Mined from top-grade sources and meticulously processed, our gypsum delivers consistent quality for improving soil structure, reclaiming sodic soils, and providing crucial calcium and sulfur nutrients your plants need.
🌱 Soil Structure Enhancement
Breaks up heavy clay soils, improving drainage, aeration, and root penetration for healthier plants.
⚡ Sodic Soil Reclamation
Replaces excess sodium with calcium, restoring fertility and structure in salt-affected soils.
🎯 Essential Nutrients
Provides readily available calcium and sulfur for cell wall strength and protein synthesis.
AGRICULTURAL BENEFITS
Gypsum is widely used in agriculture to enhance soil health, boost crop yields, and address specific soil deficiencies.
- Soil Amendment: Improves soil structure by breaking up heavy clay soils, promoting better drainage and root penetration
- Sodic Soil Reclamation: Replaces excess sodium with calcium, restoring soil fertility and structure
- Nutrient Source: Provides essential calcium (23%) and sulfur (18%), supporting cell wall strength and protein synthesis
- pH Neutral: Adds calcium without changing soil pH, unlike lime
- Aluminum Toxicity Reduction: Reduces aluminum and manganese toxicity by aiding in leaching
- Improved Drainage: Enhances water infiltration and reduces surface crusting
- Erosion Control: Reduces runoff and helps minimize soil erosion
- Increased Earthworm Activity: Creates an environment conducive to beneficial soil organisms
DERIVED FROM
Mined Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate - CaSO₄·2H₂O)
Natural mineral gypsum containing approximately 23% calcium and 18% sulfur, mined from high-purity deposits and processed to agricultural specifications.
APPLICATION RATES & METHODS
Proper application of gypsum depends on soil type, crop requirements, and your specific agricultural goals. Always perform a soil test to determine exact needs.
🌱 Soil Amendment Applications
| Soil Type | Application Rate | Purpose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Clay Soils | 1-2 tons/acre (40-80 lbs/1000 sq ft) | Improve structure & drainage | Annual or biennial |
| Sodic Soils (High Sodium) | 2-4 tons/acre (80-160 lbs/1000 sq ft) | Sodium displacement | As needed per soil test |
| Compacted Soils | 1-1.5 tons/acre (40-60 lbs/1000 sq ft) | Improve infiltration | Annual |
| General Maintenance | 0.5-1 ton/acre (20-40 lbs/1000 sq ft) | Maintain soil quality | Every 2-3 years |
🌾 Crop-Specific Applications
| Crop Type | Application Rate | Timing | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | 600-1000 lbs/acre | At pegging | Critical for pod development |
| Alfalfa | 1-2 tons/acre | Pre-plant or early spring | High sulfur demand |
| Corn | 200-500 lbs/acre | Pre-plant | Band or broadcast |
| Tomatoes | 1000-1500 lbs/acre | Pre-plant | Prevents blossom end rot |
| Citrus | 2-4 tons/acre | Spring/Fall | Improves fruit quality |
🏡 Garden & Lawn Applications
| Application | Rate | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Lawn (Clay Soil) | 40 lbs/1000 sq ft | Broadcast, water in |
| Vegetable Garden | 2-4 lbs/100 sq ft | Work into top 6 inches |
| Flower Beds | 1-2 lbs/100 sq ft | Top dress or incorporate |
| Potted Plants | 1-2 tbsp/gallon of soil | Mix into potting soil |
- • Can be applied any time of year - no risk of burning
- • Works best when incorporated but can be surface applied
- • Water after application to activate
- • Compatible with most fertilizers and amendments
- • For sodic soils, may require multiple applications

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Click on each question to see the answer.
How often should I apply gypsum?
Typically once a year for maintenance or as recommended by a soil test. Heavy clay soils may benefit from annual applications, while sandy soils may only need gypsum every 2-3 years. For sodic soil reclamation, multiple applications may be needed based on the severity of sodium issues.
Will gypsum change my soil pH?
No, gypsum is pH neutral. Unlike lime (calcium carbonate), gypsum (calcium sulfate) adds calcium without raising soil pH. This makes it ideal when you need calcium but don't want to change pH, or for high-pH soils where lime would be detrimental.
Is gypsum safe for organic gardens?
Yes, mined gypsum is generally approved for use in organic farming. It's a natural mineral that doesn't contain synthetic additives. However, always verify with your specific certifying agency to ensure compliance with your organic certification requirements.
How quickly does gypsum work?
Gypsum begins working immediately upon application, but visible results vary. For improving water infiltration, you may see results within weeks. For sodic soil reclamation, it typically takes 3-6 months to see significant improvement. Full benefits for soil structure may take 1-2 years of regular application.
Can I apply gypsum with other fertilizers?
Yes, gypsum is compatible with most fertilizers and can be applied simultaneously. It won't react negatively with NPK fertilizers, organic amendments, or most pesticides. In fact, the calcium from gypsum can improve the uptake of other nutrients.
