Gyplime, a by-product of lithium extraction, contains high levels of gypsum (calcium sulfate) and lime (calcium carbonate), making it a potentially valuable amendment. This study examined gyplime’s effect on wheat growth, yield, nutrient uptake, and soil health. A glasshouse experiment was conducted using two soil types: Shenton Park and Kojonup, and four gyplime rates: 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10 g pot -1 (equivalent to 0, 1, 2, and...
