Agricultural Calcitic Lime is a high-calcium agricultural soil amendment used to correct acidic soils and improve overall soil fertility. It supplies calcium while raising soil pH, helping create favourable conditions for nutrient availability, root development and beneficial soil microorganisms.
Key Benefits
- Corrects excessive soil acidity.
- Supplies calcium for strong plant growth and cell development.
- Improves the availability of essential nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen and molybdenum.
- Reduces the harmful effects of aluminium and manganese toxicity in acidic soils.
- Improves soil structure, microbial activity and fertilizer efficiency.
- Suitable for crops that require calcium but do not need significant additional magnesium.
Suitable For
Calcitic Lime may be used in vegetable fields, orchards, coffee farms, cereals, legumes, pastures, lawns and other agricultural soils where soil pH is low or calcium levels are deficient.
Application
Application rates should be based on a recent soil analysis, target soil pH, soil texture and crop requirements. Apply evenly and incorporate into the soil where possible. For best results, apply several weeks before planting to allow sufficient time for the lime to react with the soil.
Calcitic Lime is not a substitute for fertilizer. It improves the soil environment so that crops can use applied and existing nutrients more effectively.
Important: Do not apply lime solely based on visual crop symptoms. Excessive application can raise soil pH above the optimum range and reduce the availability of certain micronutrients.
