. 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 field 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 solution was linearly related to the initial sodium adsorption ratio. The depth of reclamation depended on the amount of gypsum applied. Dry matter yield in all gypsum treatments was greater than the control without gypsum.
