Using Gypsum For Alkali

Categories: Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation

Is it better, to kill the black alkali in the soil with gypsum, just to

scatter it over an alkalied spot or to plow the soil first and then use

the gypsum? I am going to sow alfalfa.



Use the gypsum after plowing, for it will wet down more quickly, and the

gypsum has to be dissolved to act freely. The best way to cure your spot

is to run an underdrain into it, if possible, so the rain-water can run

through the soil freely and take the alkali with it.
