Applying fertilizers correctly is crucial for enhancing soil fertility and crop productivity. Nonetheless, the long-term effects of slag-based gypsum (SBG) and commercial gypsum (CG) on soil fertility and crop yield remain poorly understood. Field experiments were conducted over six seasons with rice crops to investigate the impact of long-term app...

Background Gypsum is a valuable resource for farmers, supplying essential calcium and sulfur for plant growth. It serves as a crucial soil amendment, particularly in reclaiming alkali and sodic soils. While not a liming material, gypsum is widely recognized as a nutrient source for calcium and sulfur in acidic soils. The presence of calcium in vari...

Gypsum as a nutrient source has been used in agriculture for many years. Slag-based gypsum (SBG) is a synthetic gypsum prepared from by-product of steel industry. A pot culture experiment was conducted to know the effect of SBG on growth, yield and nutrient availability of rice in three different soils (acidic, neutral and alkaline soil) under cont...

Slag-based gypsum (SBG) produced from steel industry have better plant nutritional value in terms of calcium (Ca), sulphur (S), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), silicon (Si) and other trace metals (Ashrith et al. 2020). Prakash et al. (2020) reported that the application of varied levels of SBG increased the yield and soil chemical properties especially...

Slag-based gypsum (SBG) is produced from LD slag (Linz-Donawitz slag) which is a byproduct of the steel industry. As the constituents of SBG are almost similar to the commercial gypsum (CG), two field experiments on acidic and alkaline soil under aerobic and wetland conditions were conducted to know their performance on rice. The treatments include...

Slag-based gypsum (SBG) is a synthesized product of steel industry. SBG has better plant nutritional value in terms of sulphur (S), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), silicon (Si) and traces of other micro-nutrients. Field experiments were conducted with randomized complete block design (RCBD) to evaluate the effect of SBG over commercial gyp...

An investigation was undertaken to study the effect of seed priming with iron and zinc on yield contributing parameters as well as the nutrient uptake of the Soybean (Glycine max). The field experiment was conducted at PGI, Research Farm. Department of Soil Science and Agril. Chemistry, M.P.K.V., Rahuri, during the kharif 2016-17. The effect of see...
