Five key benefits of natural gypsum application: 

  1. Source of calcium and sulphur for plant and soil nutrition.
  1. Improves soil structure. Flocculation or aggregation is needed to give favourable soil structure for root growth and air and water movement. Clay dispersion and collapse of structure at the soil-air interface is a major contributor to crust formation.
  2. Improves water infiltration. Gypsum also improves the ability of soil to drain and not become waterlogged due to a combination of high sodium, swelling clay and excess water. When gypsum is applied to the soil, it allows water to move into the soil and allow the plants to grow well.
  3. Gypsum improves water infiltration rates into soils and also hydraulic conductivity of the soil. It is protection against excess water run-off from especially large storms.
  4. Improves acid soils and treats aluminium toxicity. Gypsum has the ability to reduce aluminium toxicity, which often accompanies soil acidity, particularly in subsoils. Gypsum can improve some acid soils (sodic soils) even beyond what lime can do for them, which makes it possible to have deeper rooting with resulting benefits to the plants.
