Reported Results: | Gypsum additions to bermudagrass pastures, whether it is commercial gypsum, FGD gypsum or FGD gypsum + fly ash did not have a negative impact on yield. Thus, FGD gypsum or FGD gypsum + fly ash could potentially be used as a low cost alternative to commercial gypsum when gypsum is needed, such as a binding agent to reduced potential loss of soluble P 6 or as a calcium and sulfur additives. |
