In agriculture, it&#8217;s commonly used as a soil amendment to improve soil structure and provide essential nutrients to plants.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can gypsum sourced from recycled plasterboard be used in agriculture?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Absolutely! Gypsum obtained from recycled plasterboard is a sustainable and eco-friendly option for agricultural applications. Recycling plasterboard not only reduces waste but also provides a valuable source of gypsum for soil improvement.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How does gypsum benefit soil structure?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Gypsum improves soil structure by promoting the aggregation of soil particles. This leads to better water infiltration, aeration, and root penetration. It helps loosen compacted soils, making it easier for plant roots to grow.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What nutrients does gypsum provide to plants?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Gypsum supplies calcium and sulphur to plants. Calcium is crucial for cell wall formation and overall plant structure, while sulphur is essential for various metabolic processes, including protein synthesis.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How is gypsum applied to agricultural land?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Gypsum can be applied to the soil in various ways. It&#8217;s often spread over the soil surface and incorporated into the topsoil during cultivation.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Does gypsum help with water management in the soil?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Yes, gypsum improves water management by reducing soil erosion and runoff. It enhances the soil&#8217;s ability to absorb and retain water, making it particularly beneficial in areas with low rainfall or where water conservation is crucial.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Is gypsum suitable for all soil types?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Gypsum is effective in a wide range of soil types, including clay soils it can also benefit compacted soils. However, its impact may vary, so it&#8217;s advisable to conduct soil tests and consult with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fgsorganics.co.uk\/compliance\/\">FACTS\/Wamitab qualified advisors<\/a> for specific recommendations.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long does it take for gypsum to show its effects on the soil?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]The effects of gypsum on soil structure are often noticeable within a few weeks to months. However, the long-term benefits may take more time to fully manifest. Regular soil testing can help monitor changes and adjust gypsum applications accordingly.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Is gypsum safe for the environment?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221;]Gypsum is generally considered environmentally friendly. It poses minimal risks to the environment and is commonly used in sustainable agricultural practices. However, it&#8217;s crucial to use gypsum responsibly and follow recommended application rates.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1672909338788{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.fgsorganics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gypsum-Alister-Bruford-e1672909294742.jpg?id=5319) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6630561a8d84e\" data-id=\"6630561a8d84e\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=&#8221;bg_color&#8221; bg_override=&#8221;ex-full&#8221; bg_color_value=&#8221;#339999&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;To find out more about Gypsum services from FGS Organics&#8230;&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\" vc_custom_1671621449577 ubtn-ctn-right \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-right ubtn-large \" href=\"https:\/\/www.fgsorganics.co.uk\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Contact Us\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-6103\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-large ubtn-bottom-bg  none  ubtn-right   tooltip-6630561a8d868\"  data-hover=\"#339999\" data-border-color=\"#ffffff\" data-bg=\"\" data-hover-bg=\"#ffffff\" data-border-hover=\"#ffffff\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-6103'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:17px;\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:bold;border-radius:0px;border-width:5px;border-color:#ffffff;border-style:solid;color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >GET IN TOUCH<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1611744483507{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] The use of recycled Gypsum is becoming more widespread throughout the UK with the reduction of atmospheric deposits of Sulphur onto UK agricultural land.
