Kolkiesrivier Gypsum

Kolkiesrivier Gypsum, primarily composed of calcium sulphate, is mined and crushed to form a fine powder. Kolkiesrivier Gypsum is a cost effective soil conditioner and very effective in correcting high soil sodium (Na) and is also used to raise the calcium content of soils without effecting the intrinsic pH balance. The gypsum is conveniently marketed in bulk.

Why Use Kolkiesrivier Gypsum?

Agricultural gypsum is routinely applied to:

• Loosen heavy, clay soils allowing air and water to penetrate
• Supplement calcium and sulphates in a form readily available to plants
• Improve the structure of alkaline soils by removing excess sodium
• Eliminate surface crusting

The natural gypsum, certified for use in organic production, is sourced from an open-cast mine located outside of Ceres, approximately 150 km north of Cape Town. Kolkiesrivier Gypsum is ideally situated for farmers in the Breede River Valley and beyond.
