Question:

I finished my gypsum applications Thursday and then some of my peanuts received 4.5 to 6.0 inches of rain last night. Is there a possibility of too much calcium leaching?

Jordan:

While I don't have concrete data, when someone gets that much rain right after application, I recommend 1/2 rate of gypsum just to be sure there is enough calcium for the remainder of the season.
