		Soils that are rich in humus, minerals, and bacteria help plants to gain optimum genetic growth and development.
		Soil structure has an important influence on plant growth as it affects moisture relationships, aeration, heat transfer, and mechanical impedance of root growth.
		This may be caused by the crusting at the soil surface, impermeable layers beneath the surface, unstable soil structure, lack of organic matter, or plate-shaped soil minerals.

	Soil conditioner - Patent 5125950
		The essence of the inventive soil conditioner lies in the combination of an invert sugar and electrolyte, which is compatible with the soil, in a particular ratio by weight.
		The inventive soil conditioner brings about an advantageous vegetation phase and, by increasing the ionization of the coil, an improvement int he assimilation by the cultivated plants, the invert sugar portion being absorbed by the plants in an advantageous manner and the assimilation being increased thereby.
		Presumably, the soil microorganisms or microfungi, which contributed to an improved vegetation of the cultivated soils, are activated by the use of aqueous soil conditioners.

		Soil biological activity, measured as enzyme activity, did not increase consistently after compost application, however, activity levels were similar to those in soils receiving chemical fertilizer.
		Soil nutrient levels and microbial activity were monitored periodically during the growing season to detect effects of the soil conditioners on soils and plant growth.
		Soil conditioners produced from food wastes inoculated with selected microorganisms were as effective as a fertilizer in promoting soil microbial activity and melon growth.

		Acidification of soil resulting from the use of commercial fertilizers is claimed to be one of the major reasons for deterioration of soils on a global basis (Stammer, 1992).
		That part of the nitrogen that remains in the soil as root residue or as straw turned under which originated from symbiosis and depending on the base content is also a potential source of acid when the organic matter is mineralized.
		These processes of soil degradation can be overcome by either reducing or eliminating the mechanical energy of impacting raindrops using a mulch or other soil cover or by spreading gypsum over the surface after preparing the seedbed and before the next rain to supply electrolyte to promote flocculation.

		The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of a soil conditioner based on microbially inoculated, fermented, food waste on melon (Cucumis melo) plant growth and soil microbial activity and nutrient levels.
		The resulting soil conditioners were tilled into the top 20 cm of a Mexico silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Mollic Endoaqualf) at 20 to 30% by volume, 3 to 4 weeks before transplanting melons.
		Soil nutrient levels and microbial activity were monitored to identify effects of soil conditioners on soil properties and plant growth.

	Does gypsum improve water holding capacity (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I have a client who has a soil water storage problem due to the very light sandy soil on his property and as his advisor I am looking at whether a water borne soil conditioner such as gypsum would improve his water holding capacity.
		Gypsum improves the soil structure and increases permeability by flocculating clay particles, thereby increasing the percentage of mesopores and decreasing the percentage of micropores.
		In a sandy soil with a significant clay content gypsum may increase the amount of plant available water by only a few percent (5-10%) dependent upon the amount of clay in the soil.
