Agricultural lime is a crushed limestone (calcium carbonate) used to neutralize soil acidity, increase pH, and improve crop yields by enhancing nutrient uptake. It provides essential calcium, boosts fertilizer efficiency, improves soil structure, and promotes healthy microbial activity.
Benefits
- pH Adjustment: Corrects acidic soil, which is vital for nutrient availability, especially in high-rainfall or high-nitrogen fertilizer environments.
- Nutrient Availability: Enhances the uptake of phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, while reducing toxic levels of aluminum and manganese.
- Soil Structure: Improves soil aeration, drainage, and encourages earthworm activity.
- Crop Yields: Boosts productivity for various crops, including fruits like avocados.
- Legume Growth: Improves nitrogen fixation in legumes like beans and peas.
