Gypsum-saturated water to reclaim alluvial saline sodic and sodic soils

Abstract: Inadequate management of soil and irrigation water contribute to soil degradation, particularly in the alluvial areas of Northeast Brazil, where salinity and sodicity are already common features. This study evaluates the effects of the addition of gypsum in the irrigation water on physical and chemical properties of soils with different levels of salinity and sodicity. Samples were collected at the Custódia irrigation area of Brazil, predominantly covered by alluvial soils. Leaching tests using simulated irrig… Show more

“…It can be seen that for treatments with the application of levels of over100% of the gypsum requirement, there was no marked reduction in the exchangeable sodium in the soil, confirming that the 100% level of NG as determined by the Schoonover M-1 method was effective for the correction of sodicity in the soil samples (ESP < 15%), and that the use of higher levels than that determined by the Schoonover M-1 method is not recommended, as it results in more being spent on corrective agents, water and consequently on energy. This behaviour was also noted by Silveira et al (2008) who, when working with saline-sodic soils in Custódia, Pernambuco, and adding gypsum to the irrigation water, found that the applied gypsum corrected the ESP of the soils for values of less than 15%.…”

“…A adição de gesso, independentemente da dose aplicada, reduziu o pH na solução do solo nas profundidades de 0,15-0,25; 0,35-0,45; e 0,75-0,85 m, comparativamente ao tratamento G-0. Resultados semelhantes foram encontrados por Silveira et al (2008) e Leite et al (2012), os quais observaram em seus trabalhos com solos salinos e sódicos que o gesso reduziu o pH do solo, comparado ao solo original. Essa redução no pH não ocorreu pela ação química do gesso, que é aprótico, mas pela percolação da água por meio do solo com elevada permeabilidade e, dessa maneira, lixiviando ânions hidroxilas, carbonatos e bicarbonatos (Lucena et al, 1990;Leite et al, 2012).…”

“…Para o composto à base de caulim com a adição de gesso, o ajuste foi quadrático, enquanto para o composto à base de caulim sem gesso, não houve ajuste. Embora os compostos à base de rejeitos tenham de maneira geral contribuído para a diminuição dos teores trocáveis de Na, a simples lavagem do solo diminuiu de forma expressiva, os teores deste cátion no solo, quando comparados com os valores iniciais (Tabela 1), fato este possivelmente associado aos altos teores de areia deste solo (SILVEIRA et al, 2008).…”
