Ag Lime

Enhance your soil health with Agricultural Limestone

Why use Agricultural limestone? Also known as AgLime, it is essential for improving soil health by neutralising acidity levels. By spreading lime on both horticultural and livestock applications, you can create a more pH-balanced environment, which is crucial for optimal crop growth and yields, without harming plants or animals through the use of chemical fertilisers.

Acidic soils can retard crop growth and grain production, directly impacting profitability per acre. Testing your soil’s pH is vital. It helps determine whether the soil will benefit from limestone, and how much lime to apply, and the yields that could then be achieved.

Unlock crop yields

Through regular soil testing and the use of AgLime you can:

  • Improve herbicide efficiency and reduce the use of fertiliser
  • Boost microbial activity
  • Improve plant structure 
  • Provide a source of calcium and magnesium, essential for plant growth 
  • Improve the uptake of major plant nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium
  • Strengthen root systems 
  • Improve water penetration for acidic soils
  • Reduce your impact on the environment – soil, water courses, native animal populations
  • One application will last 3-5 years 

Please use the ALA calculator to help you calculate your recommended liming rate.
