Lime Application Rates. The Lime Calculator allows users to calculate a recommended liming rate (t/ha) based on the cropping (enterprise type), measured soil pH, soil type and liming material to be applied. The system uses ALA recommendations and was developed in partnership with The University of Hertfordshire; Agriculture and the Environment Research Unit (AERU). Since water is required for lime to react with the soil, effects of a lime application will be slower in a dry soil. It often takes a year or more before a response can be measured even under perfect conditions. However, a response may be observed within weeks of the application when soil pH is extremely low. It is important to apply lime. Calcifert Lime application rates are lower than conventional lime making it a cost-effective alternative. How much you apply will depend on your soil type, acid levels and crop. Please contact us for more guidance on specific rates or view our application rates chart.

Lime is also used to improve the properties of soil/aggregate mixtures in “full depth recycling.” 2 Lim e percentages s hould be det rm i ned by an engineer usi g a m x desi a d tst p rotocol.

Soil pH, a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of soil, determines the ability of a plant to take in nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other nutrients.
G-Lime will help to neutralise acidic soils and replenish the nutrients that rainfall reduces. It can be spread using a conventional fertiliser spreader, will act quickly and lower application rates. It provides farmers with a quick, easy, clean and convenient way of applying lime to grassland and crops, using a conventional spreader.
n High annual rainfall leads to a large removal of lime each year n Typical maintenance lime requirement of 2.5 to 5.0 t/ha once every 5 years depending on regional location and rainfall (i.e. typically higher rates may be required in the West) n Apply maintenance lime to 20% of your farm on an annual basis Lime Application Rates for Pecan Trees.

The actual rate of application of neutralising materials required must be corrected for the effective neutralising value (ENV) (see Section 2.5.2 of Treatment and management of soils and water in acid sulfate soil landscapes 1.59 MB (Published July, 2011, Revised June 2015)
