Acid found in soil can be a common problem and is caused by the use of nitrogen fertilizer, slurry and high rainfall on the land. As a soil conditioner lime has the ability to neutralise the acid. This brings with it numerous advantages.
So, what are the benefits of regular lime applications to agricultural soils?
Eco Prospects can help and advise you on putting together a yearly liming programme while also taking into consideration factors such as grazing, silage, reseeding, slurry and fertilizer applications and working around these.
The liming products that we recommend include: –
True Magnesium Lime – All areas mentioned have a range of magnesium lime where the neutralizing value (NV) 54-58% and a magnesium content of 19%.
Granulated, Magnesium & Calcium Lime – This lime has a 54% neutralizing value (NV), and it contains 19% magnesium content. Eco Prospects can advise on which is your systems best approach and lime.
Applying lime is an effective method to improve the soil productivity on a farm and something that every farmer should invest in. A liming programme for your farm should be established for a period of 3 to 5 years.
In order to ensure the best quality lime products and competitive pricing we work with S & S Agricultural Liming Ltd.
