SMC was incorporated at rates of 0, 60, 80 and 120 t ha −1 with gypsum at 0, 40 and 90 t ha −1 and Holcus lanatus sown at a rate of 80 kg ha −1. The addition of SMC and gypsum was beneficial in improving the physical properties of the residue and promoting growth.
Abstract. Gypsum is a relatively common mineral that is widely available in agricultural areas and has a number of specialized agronomic uses, principally as a Ca source on legumes and as a soil conditioner on sodic soils. Recent research has suggest that the utility of gypsum may extend to a greater range of soils and crops than previously ...
Results in Table 1 also showed that soil exchangeable Ca 2+ was highly influenced by the application of the treatments. Soil exchangeable Ca 2+ in plots amended with 5000 kg ha −1 lime (4.6 and 4.8) increased relative to the control by about 42% for both planting seasons. Soils amended with 2500 kg ha −1 of gypsum had lower soil …
