A pot study was carried out in the screenhouse at Samaru, Nigeria, to examine the effects of moisture stress and gypsum on groundnut pod development and yield. The use of gypsum had no significant effect either on vegetative growth or on the yield of Spanish 205, but increased the pod and kernel yields of June-sown Samaru 38 variety. Applying moisture stress at 9–13 weeks after sowing to
2011a). Gypsum is an excellent source of Ca (20 %) and S (15-18 %); also, it supplies small amounts of P (0.5-0.8 %). Gypsum is marketed not only as a fertilizer, but also as a soil conditioner on the grounds of being a highly soluble salt that rapidly increases Ca and sulfate contents in the soil subsurface layer. As a result, gypsum
Ratchasima. Soil conditions were; clay soil texture (pH = 5.16, ECe =12.5 dS m-1 (1.25% total salt contamination), total nitrogen = 0.38 g kg-1, available phosphorus = 2.08 mg kg-1 and available potassium = 2.00 mg kg-1). Gypsum (CaSO 4 2H2O) and/or farmyard manure (FYM) were applied to the soil at 62.5 g m-2 and/or 500 g m-2, respectively

Abstract: Agriculture has failed to be sustainable several times in the history of the world because of soil failure (Rush, 1987). Irrigated land eventually leads to sodicity and salinity unless extreme care is taken. Gypsum is a key ingredient for the maintenance of agriculture on many types of soils and over a wide pH range including sodicity. Waste-product gypsum is available in a large
Aug 06, 2013 Agricultural Gypsum Uses Agricultural Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate - CaSO4) is one of those rare materials that performs in all three categories of soil treatment: an amendment, conditioner, and fertilizer. Soil conditioners, such as gypsum, are seriously undervalued compared to fertilizer usage. Dr. Arthur Wallace (Ph.D. S
Oct 04, 2016 Pure gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) contains 18.6% sulphur (S) and 23% calcium (Ca). Gypsum is therefore used as: (1) a sulphur fertiliser, (2) a calcium fertiliser, or (3) at higher rates as a soil
Myth #3: Gypsum for lawns is a great liming material and will effectively raise soil pH. While gypsum is useful in many ways, this gypsum myth applies only to gypsum as a soil acid neutralizer. While there are reports of gypsum raising pH, this is mainly restricted to agriculture and not so much for lawns. I talk to people all the time who use

The existence of gypsum in Nigeria has been reported since 1921. Gypsum deposits are found in the sedimentary basins of the country. Identified deposits are found in Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe, Borno, Bauchi, Benue, Ogun, Sokoto, Edo, Kogi, Abia, etc. About one billion tons of gypsum deposits are spread over many sites in Nigeria. The quality of gypsum is a function of the calcium sulphate
Gypsum Mineral - Nigeria, West Africa is blessed with Gypsum rich states and has about 1 billion tons of gypsum deposited in Adamawa, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Kogi, Ondo, and Sokoto. Its existence has been far reported since 1921 and the various grades of gypsum from all the various states of deposits have been researched by experts to meet the
May 01, 2016 Large deposits of gypsiferous shales are found in parts of Nigeria. Gypsum resources have not been studied extensively with the aim of using them in Nigeria’s agriculture, for instance for the fertilization of groundnuts, or to supplement fertilizers with the much needed sulphur nutrient component, or for remediation of alkaline saline soils and amelioration of physically degraded soils (Anikwe, 2011)
