Abstract
The application of gypsum to a Natraquoll under pasture was evaluated in a humid area of the 'Flooding Pampas' of Argentina in a randomized block fiel d design. Gypsum was incorporated at 0, 15, 35, and 60 t ha(-1). After the gypsum was mixed into the soil, the electrical conductivity of the soil sol ution was linearly related to the initial sodium adsorption ratio. The dept h of reclamation depended on the amount of gypsum applied. Dry matter yield in all gypsum treatments was greater than the control without gypsum.
