Crop:Not Crop Specific
Reported Results:

The addition of gypsum to soil as an amendment has the potential for reducing the amount of water soluble P. Greater water soluble P reductions from soil were also observed with increasing rates. The data, although short-term, suggest that adding gypsum to manure amended soil would reduce the potential loss and export of P in surface water runoff.
