“…No significant differences in plant available soil P by the Bray I method or in plant P concentration were observed among treatments in these experiments (data not shown). Unlike previous experiments in which CaSO 4 addition decreased soil Al (Syed‐Omar et al, 1990), the addition of CaSO 4 as a pure chemical or a coal combustion by‐product to the Gilpin silt loam decreased soil pH and increased soil Al (Table 3 and 4). The differences in effects of CaSO 4 on soil pH between this study and Syed‐Omar et al (1990) could be caused by leaching of the amended soils with water in the previous studies.…”

The addition of CaSO 4 to soils can lead to a reduction in soil Al when the Ca is allowed to displace Al from exchange sites and Al is leached from that portion of the soil profile (Shainberg et al, 1989).…”

“…Peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) was grown in a highly weathered Typic Paleudult soil amended with lime (CaCO 3 ), gypsum (CaSO 4 ), or varying ratios of each (Syed‐Omar et al 1990). Nodulation was greatest when Ca was added as gypsum, possibly indicating that changes in soil Ca were mainly responsible for the observed effects.…”

In mineral soils, plant available Al is most often to 6.1 and soil Ca of 170 to 680 mg kg Ϫ1 soil.

“…Leachates from these treatments were observed to accumulate higher amounts of aluminium, potassium, magnesium and calcium ions. The study suggested that the application of gypsum and the lime: gypsum combination at 25%: 75% improved the yield of groundnut grown on an acid soil more than the application of lime alone" [39]. Agasimani and Hosamani [40] concluded that application of gypsum at the rate of 500 kg ha -1 at pegging stage registered highest developed pods per plant, sound mature kernel per cent, 100 kernel weight, kernel yield, haulm yield, oil yield over the control in sandy loam soils of Uttara Kannada over three locations in Karnataka.…”

Although India is steadily progressing in oilseeds production, but the average yields of most of the oilseeds like groundnut are still extremely low when compared to those prevailing in other countries of the world. This is because oilseeds are cultivated mostly in marginal and sub-marginal land of semi-arid areas with very less management, hence remain vulnerable to vagaries of nature. Among oilseed crops groundnut is an important source of vegetable oil and protein. Lack of appropriate management practices leads to decreased yields of the crop. Applications of amendments like gypsum and dolomite based on soil pH is necessary to provide a better environment for roots and plant growth.
