Potatoes Benefit From Gypsum Trials In Yorkshire Plots
Rev T Shepworth reports on two gypsum experiments with potatoes. In the first, gypsum applied as a top dressing after planting increased yield by about 24 sacks per acre compared with ungyp somed rows, though sun exposure favored the ungyp somed. In the second, gypsum on poor soil near fruit trees produced notably vigorous tops and some of the finest potatoes in the plot after a rain aided its action.
