Influence of FGD Gypsum on the Properties of a Highly Erodible Soil Under Conservation Tillage

Source Publication:Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis Vol. 42, Issue 16, p. 2012-2023
Primary Author:Rhoton, McChesney
Institution:USDA - ARS
Research Site:USDA Research Facility

State:Mississippi
Date/Year:2011
Focus:Water Shed (water infiltration and erosion)
Category:Peer Reviewed Papers
Crop:Cotton
Reported Results:

The data showed that within one year of initial application {of gypsum}, significant increases were recorded for calcium and sulfur contents at depth which lead to substantial increases in soil stability and decreases in aluminum toxicity." The results indicate that FGD gypsum can potentially increase yields of no-till cotton by improving soil water conditions and providing a readily available source of sulfur, a limiting nutrient in many cotton soils.
