 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.

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.

 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.
