Made with the Andersons patented DG (dispersible granule) Technology, NutraSoft OP Gypsum is more effective and faster acting than traditional gypsum products. DG Technology allows each NutraSoft granule to quickly and completely disperse after coming into contact with water from rain or irrigation, allowing the product to reach its intended destination – the root zone.
How to Use NutraSoft
Applying NutraSoft
Hard-packed soils can prohibit healthy root systems and reduce the penetration and retention of water. Applying NutraSoft OP Gypsum with calcium and sulfur quickly and effectively loosens soil and can even help lower high alkaline levels, creating healthy soil turf and gardens can thrive in. NutraSoft OP Gypsum can be applied any time during the growing season and will not cause any burning.

Pro Tips for Best Results
Check The Forecast
Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.
Mow First
Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.
Clean Up
Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.
Water Deep
Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.
Don't Bag It
Leave lawn clippings for at least one mowing to avoid particle pick-up.
Spreader Settings
We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.
Unlock your soil's potential by mastering soil pH. Raise pH with lime or lower it with elemental sulfur to ensure your lawn gets all the nutrients it needs.
One of the most crucial steps in ensuring your grass thrives is understanding the health of your soil. Enter soil testing—an easy yet powerful tool that can make all the difference in your lawn care routine.
