The HGP Staff have been fielding lots of questions about Salt Damage.
Below is an excerpt from the website “Lawn Care Academy” High Soil Salinity Problems and How to Correct Them
“Using Gypsum to Correct Soil Salinity Problems”
The salt damage from of the Tsunami can easily be seen on the turf by the harbor in Kahului Maui along Kaahumanu Ave. across from Whole Foods Market.
How Gypsum Works
The Calcium (Ca) in gypsum replaces the salt while the sulfate in gypsum reacts with the sodium forming sodium sulfate. Sodium sulfate is a highly water-soluble material that is easily leached below the root zone. This process also repairs soil structure so soil particles can bind with each other again. For severe cases the process may take several seasons.
The amount of gypsum applied will be determined by a soil test. Test results will often indicate applications of 1 ton to 10 tons per acre. On average, for moderate to severe damage, gypsum can be applied as much as 50 lbs per 1000 sq.ft. Gypsum doesn’t work well as a preventitive before damage occurs because the elements break down.”
