Uses:
Soil Conditioner: Gypsum enhances soil structure by reducing compaction in clay soils, improving aeration, and preventing waterlogging. This, in turn, promotes healthier root development and nutrient uptake by plants.
Nutrient Source: Gypsum is a valuable source of calcium and sulfur, two essential nutrients necessary for plant growth and development.
pH Adjustment: It can be used to amend soil pH, particularly in acidic soils, creating a more suitable environment for plant nutrient uptake.
Crop Yield Enhancement: Gypsum application leads to increased crop yields and improved crop quality.
Environmental Remediation: It aids in mitigating soil erosion and reducing nutrient runoff, contributing to improved water quality.
Industrial Uses: Gypsum is employed in construction for making cement, bricks, gypsum boards, and Plaster of Paris (POP).
Fire Resistance: Due to its fire-resistant properties, gypsum is used in fire-resistant materials for construction.
Art and Craft: Gypsum’s ease of use and moldability make it a popular material in art and craft projects.
Medical and Dental: In the medical field, gypsum is used in casting and molding for orthopedic applications and dental impressions.
Food and Beverage: Gypsum can be used as a coagulant in tofu production and for clarifying beverages like beer.
Note :
The moisture percentage in Gypsum Fertilizer in normal circumstances ranges from 10% to 15% as in monsoon it is about 20% to 30% and it varies from pond to pond and depends upon the intensity of the monsoon.
