Reported Results:

By-product phosphogyspsum is effective in reducing runoff rates and soil loss from high-intensity rainfall on highly weather soils. Preliminary recommendation of 1-2 mt/ha might be made for phosphogypsum application to rowcrops for the purpose of ameliorating soil physical properties and promoting better water relations.
