REGYP is aiming to keep the price of the very popular Super Ag Gypsum product at 2012 price levels. We have recently doubled our plant capacity in Sydney, to increase production rates and will be aiming to offer a continued reliable supply of the 92+% pure gypsum product for the 2014 sowing season. Super Ag
A new line of baked beans produced in Australia will be released to super markets soon. Bean Growers Australia recently viewed the new Kingaroy Baked Bean label from SPC.
ReGyp undertook spreader trials using the Super Ag 10mm screened gypsum product near Cowra NSW. The results off the spreader are substantial, with the Regyp gypsum spreading up to 19m (average 17-19), with various NSW mined gypsum products only achieving 11-13m off the same spreader. This increased spreading distance would equate to approximately $10
Many soils in NSW have sodic clay subsoils of low permeability. These soils waterlog easily after heavy rain or irrigation. Under these circumstances subsoil oxygen levels remain low for long periods during which root development is seriously restricted. Waterlogging also favours the development of root diseases, including crown rot and Phyrophihora. and the loss of
Sodicity should not he confused with salinity. Salinity refers to the total amount of salts dissolved in the water in soil, whereas sodicity refers to the exchangeable sodium cations bound to clay particles. Salinity can be reduced by leaching (draining rainwater or non-saline irrigation water through the soil but leaching has little effect on sodicity.
Soils that are most likely to show economic responses to gypsum application have the following features in the topsoil, subsoil or both: high clay content—greater than 30%. particularly greater than 40%, high sodicity level—ESP greater than 5. particularly greater than 10, low salinity level—electrical conductivity of a 1:5 soil: water suspension (EC I:5) less than
Tests have shown that canola removes approximately 10 kg of sulphur from the soil for each tonne of production. Therefore at least that amount of sulphur must be available to the canola plant to achieve maximum production. Gypsum is a very economical source of both calcium and sulphur. The sulphur in the form of sulphate
Gypsum (calcium sulphate) is a very economical source of both calcium and sulphur. The sulphur in the form of sulphate is readily absorbed by the plant. Application rates will vary according to nutrients already present in the soil and a soil test to check for all nutrient requirements is highly recommended. However, 0.5 to 1
The three important factors in applying gypsum are method, rate and frequency of application. In considering these factors much depends on whether the agriculture is dryland or irrigated, whether the topsoil or subsoil (or both) is to be treated and the nature and extent of the problem. General Application Methods 1. Irrigation, the most immediately
To calculate the fertiliser application rate required for a particular nutrient application rate, use the formula: ReGyp screened gypsum products contain approximately 17% of sulphur (S). Application Rate x % Sulphur = Sulphur application rate (kg/ha) Sulphur Kg/ha = 1000 kg/ha x 17 = 170 kg/ha ReGyp screened gypsum products contain approximately 17% of sulphur
