Neutralizes soil acidity and supplies calcium to crop soils.
Correct the acidity of the soil of your crops. Our agricultural calcium lime also provides 40% Calcium, we increase the potential growth of your crops and will make fertilizers 50% more effective, or in other words, you can save 50% on fertilizers.
Reduces the concentration of aluminum that prevents the correct growth of all types of crops.
Magnesium is of vital importance for plant photosynthesis, it is responsible for the development and growth of roots and the production of chlorophyll. Most soils lack magnesium, the effect of rain eliminates minerals such as magnesium and calcium from the soil, this makes the soil more acidic and therefore less fertile.
It is the central constituent of chlorophyll, responsible for receiving energy from the sun.
Calcium carbonate for organic farming.
It is calcium carbonate extracted from a quarry and simply crushed, therefore it can be used in organic farming, it is an economical fertilizer, easy to store since it does not expire and is very easy to apply.
Acidity neutralizing power between 90 and 100%
The problem of soil acidity comes from the accumulation of water either due to excess rain or for another reason, the use of acidifying fertilizers (the majority), the decomposition of previous crops and the application of organic fertilizers.
How to know if a soil is acidic
The best way is to use a phmeter and take points throughout the farm to have a homogeneous result. We can also observe the leaves of our crops, if they turn yellow or wither, it is a clear sign of acidity.
Amount of agricultural lime calcium to be supplied
In the case of application by sprinkling with calcium lime, 200 grams per 1 m² is sufficient (2 tons per hectare) but the acidity of the soil will depend.
PH 3.5 to 4.2 > 3.5 tons per hectare
pH 4.3 to 4.8 > 3 tons per hectare
PH 4.9 to 5.3 > 2.5 tons per hectare
How to contribute agricultural lime of calcium
The perfect way is to mix the lime with the soil, but this can rarely be done. The most common way is to broadcast it to avoid damage to the roots of the plant.
Difference between Calcium Lime (Calcium Carbonate) and Calcium Quicklime (Calcium Oxide)
Quicklime or calcium oxide is calcium carbonate calcined at more than 1,200 degrees, with this we eliminate the water particles and results in a much more reactive product than carbonate, with a calcium concentration of up to 70% and therefore with an acidity neutralizing capacity up to 2.5 times greater. Quicklime is a more complicated material to use since it is corrosive and used incorrectly can ruin crops. It is recommended not to use it if we do not know very well what we are doing.
