What is Agricultural Lime?
Agricultural Lime, often referred to as aglime, is a naturally occurring limestone product used to improve soil conditions and support agricultural production. It is commonly applied to soils with low pH to help create conditions that support nutrient availability and plant growth.
Regular soil management is an important part of maintaining productive agricultural land. Agricultural Lime is widely used across farming operations to support long-term soil health and optimise growing conditions for crops and pastures.
Managing Soil Acidity
Soil acidity is a significant challenge for many Australian farming operations and can reduce crop performance, pasture productivity and fertiliser efficiency. Acidification can occur through factors such as the removal of agricultural products, the use of nitrogen fertilisers and ongoing farming practices. M250 Aglime helps neutralise acidic soils, creating conditions that support productive agricultural systems.
M250 Aglime may assist with:
- Promoting plant growth
- Improving fertiliser efficiency
- Aerating heavy soils
- Returning soil pH to conditions that best support crop performance
High Neutralising Value
Neutralising value is a measure of a liming product's ability to reduce soil acidity. M250 Aglime has a high neutralising value, making it an effective soil ameliorant for agricultural applications where soil acidity management is important. Combined with its high calcium carbonate content, M250 Aglime provides an effective solution for improving soil conditions and supporting long-term farm productivity.
Why Fine Particle Size Matters
The effectiveness of agricultural lime depends on both its neutralising value and its fineness. Finer particles provide greater contact with the soil, helping the product react more efficiently. M250 Aglime is manufactured to a fine particle size, with 99% of material passing through a 250μm sieve, supporting effective soil incorporation and performance.
