Liquid gypsum

[dannewhouse]

Been thinking of trying some gypsum on some clay ground to try and break it up, mg index 5 pH between 6.5-7

But then I have just seen liquid gypsum, sounds too little to do any good?
5l /ha? What tonnage per ha does that compare to?

Anyone tried it, what sort of results?
Normal gypsum aswell?

 

[Trying]

Sounds interesting where did you see the liquid gypsum?

Never seen liquid gypsum but spread plenty of powder with muck spreaders has transformed our heavy hi mag clay in to less sticky and more workable

For farmers

How many ton per acre do you put on and how much are you giving for it delivered?

No chance it does much. 5l ha??????

Id be showing any company trying to sell me that the door

I'm of that opinion, but you gotta ask the question.
Plenty recommend 1. Ton of gypsum how much of that isn't the active ingredient? Ca

Officially it's 1 ton a ha I think but just cake it on was getting it delivered for free but think they've packed up prossesing it now

5t per hectare if it's mined gypsum. 10t/ha isn't really enough. Can't see what five litres will do. If I could put recycled on with a bulldozer I would be doing that.

5 L / ha ? - you are pee’ing in a very big ocean !

Up to 10t/ACRE ifs its been flooded by salt water, not sure you can put too much on... as for 5liters must be a typo there, but then not sure how it can be made liquid enough to spray.

I agree with you but whats the concentration of CA in gypsum? Is that why?
I'm not saying it's right, be damn handy if it was so simple!!!

In recycled plaster board; CaO27% if that helps along with 40% sulphur.
