AGRICULTURAL GYPSUM

Dihydrate vs. Anhydrite

The highest quality gypsum for agriculture is natural, a dihydrate, has beneficial trace minerals, and purity levels over 80%.

Because Dihydrate is already hydrated with water molecules, as opposed to anhydrite, it dissolves faster in water.

  • If dissolved in the irrigation water, dissolution speed has little effect; however, when applied in dry granular form, the dissolving rates differ.
  • Dihydrate gypsum releases calcium and sulfur into the soil faster to restore balance and bring up the base levels of nutrients in soil at a much quicker rate than anhydrite.
  • Anhydrite can be used in agriculture, but its benefits will be significantly slower to see.
  • Anhydrite is better suited for wallboard and cement applications.
For Southern California, dihydrate gypsum mined in Southern Utah-Nevada-California typically costs less for combined materials and shipping.
