It consists primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or a combination of calcium and magnesium carbonates. Ag lime is commonly used in agriculture to improve soil quality.
Applications
Soil pH Adjustment: Ag lime is spread over the soil surface or incorporated into the soil through tillage. It reacts with acidic soil to neutralise the acidity by raising the pH level. This process is crucial because many crops thrive in soils with a pH level in the neutral to slightly alkaline range.
Calcium and Magnesium Source: Ag lime provides essential nutrients to plants, particularly calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are important for plant growth and development. Correcting calcium and magnesium deficiencies can improve crop yields and quality.
Benefits
Is a valuable soil amendment used to adjust soil pH, enhance nutrient availability, and improve overall soil quality. Its application contributes to increased crop yields, better crop quality, and sustainable agricultural practices.
