It is a soil improver for crops, working as an affordable fertilizer, soil amendment and soil conditioner.
General Product Description
Agricultural Gypsum, or Calcium Sulfate, is a technical mineral that improves soil structure and provides calcium and sulfur, key nutrients for plant development. Its action also corrects soil salinity, improving permeability and encouraging the growth of deep roots.
Differences Between Particle Sizes and Recommended Uses
Particle size 0-10 mm
Description: Larger particle size, with slow nutrient release. Recommended uses: Ideal for soils that require a prolonged treatment. Perfect for long-cycle crops or clay soils that need a gradual structural improvement.
Particle size 0-3 mm
Description: Intermediate size that provides a moderate nutrient release. Recommended uses: Versatile for a variety of crops. Suitable for soils with moderate salinity correction needs or those seeking both short-term and long-term improvement.
Particle size 0-1 mm
Description: Fine size that offers a fast nutrient release. Recommended uses: Perfect for quick soil corrections or short-cycle crops. Ideal for situations that require an immediate soil improvement, such as nurseries or intensive crops.
Particle size 100 microns
Description: Ultra-fine size that offers an ultra-fast nutrient release. Recommended uses: Perfect for the rehabilitation of sodic soils, very quick soil corrections or short-cycle crops. Ideal for situations that require an immediate soil improvement, such as nurseries or intensive crops.
Ideal Application Time
TheAgricultural Gypsumcan be applied all year round, but the optimal application times are usually:
Autumn: Right after harvest, to prepare the soil for the next season. Autumn application helps improve soil structure during the colder months, ensuring it is in optimal condition for spring sowing.
Spring: Before sowing or at the start of the growing season, when plants require an adequate supply of calcium and sulfur. Applying it in spring also ensures that nutrients are available during the plants' active growth.
In arid areas or saline soils: Application can be particularly useful before the rainy seasons, to maximize water penetration and help displace sodium in salinized soils.
How to Apply
Surface application: Agricultural Gypsum should be spread evenly over the soil. Depending on the particle size, it is advisable to use a fertilizer spreader to ensure an even distribution.
Incorporation into the soil: For best results, especially with larger particle sizes (0-10 mm), it is recommended to incorporate the gypsum into the soil by light tillage or plowing. This ensures that the nutrients penetrate deeper and mix better with the substrate.
Subsequent irrigation: After application, especially in dry climates, it is ideal to apply moderate irrigation. Water helps dissolve and distribute the calcium sulfate in the soil, speeding up its action.
Application in direct seeding or pastures: In these cases, the gypsum can be applied directly onto the surface without tillage, and rain or irrigation water will carry the product down to the deeper soil layers.
Benefits of Agricultural Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
Improves soil structure: Promotes aeration and reduces compaction.
Supplies essential nutrients: Provides calcium and sulfur, necessary for optimal plant growth.
Improves water infiltration: Promotes greater water penetration into the soil, reducing runoff and erosion problems.

Frequently asked questions
What is agricultural gypsum or calcium sulfate used for?
It improves soil structure and provides calcium and sulfur, key nutrients for plants. Its action also corrects soil salinity, improving permeability and encouraging the growth of deep roots.
What particle sizes and formats are available?
Calcium sulfate is offered in particle sizes of 0-3 mm, 0-1 mm and 100 microns. It comes in 20 kg bags, 1,000 kg big bags and full pallets, and in bulk on request.
Which particle size should I choose?
Larger particles release nutrients more slowly, while fine ones act faster. The 0-1 mm size is suited for quick corrections in short-cycle crops, and the 100 micron size for rehabilitating sodic soils.
When and how is it applied?
It can be applied all year round, although it is usually done in autumn after harvest or in spring before sowing. It is spread evenly, preferably with a spreader, and moderate irrigation afterwards is advisable.

Descontento
En la publicidad indicaba 1200 kg, sin embargo en el embalaje ponía 1100 kg., 100 kg de menos.
Buenos días Diego, en primer lugar muchas gracias por tu pedido. En segundo aclararte que el big bag contiene 1.200kg. de material asegurado al 100%.
Hemos estado investigando donde habías podido ver 1.100kg. y nos hemos dado cuenta que en la orden de transporte pone que pesa 1.100kg, este peso no es el real, no te preocupes, en ningún momento nuestra intención es ni va a ser intentar poner 100kg. menos de material, que no llevan a ganar a nadie, en todo caso te hacen quedar mal con los clientes. Lamentamos el mal entendido. Un saludo
Todo excelente. Tras una primera equivocación con el producto elegido, el equipo de atención al cliente se puedo a trabajar para solucionar el problema y darme una solución adecuada.
