Impact of Flue Gas Desulfurization-Calcium Sulfite and Gypsum on Soil Microbial Activity and Wheat Growth

Source Publication:Soil Science Vol. 173, Issue 8, p. 534-543
Primary Author:Lee, Bigham, Dick, Kim
State:Not State Specific
Date/Year:2008
Focus:Soil pH, soil enzyme activity, wheat growth
Category:Peer Reviewed Papers
Crop:Wheat
Reported Results:

Surface applications of FGD-CaSO3 may be as effective as gypsum for inhibiting soil crusting, improving water infiltration, and promoting the movement of Ca2+ into acid subsoils. Moreover, application rates of equal to or less than 4.4 Mg ha-1 should have no negative impact on soil microbial activities or plant growth.
