Reported Results: | The data showed that within one year of initial application {of gypsum}, significant increases were recorded for calcium and sulfur contents at depth which lead to substantial increases in soil stability and decreases in aluminum toxicity." The results indicate that FGD gypsum can potentially increase yields of no-till cotton by improving soil water conditions and providing a readily available source of sulfur, a limiting nutrient in many cotton soils.
