CALCIMO DRIED LIME
Calcimo Dried Lime is furnace dried with less than 1% moisture. It is a very
soft, fine lime and is highly soluble, therefore it is a very high quality and
effective lime. All of the lime is of benefit, with no ineffective stones or grit.
- Increase Yield and Production
- Reduces Soil Acidity
- Increase Soil Calcium Levels
- Improves Nutrient Availability and Efficiency of Fertilizers
- Improves Soil Structure
- Reduces Aluminium and Manganese Toxicities
- High Calcium Carbonate Equivalent registered at 83%
- Neutralising Value (NV) of 84%, Effective Neutralising Value (ENV) of 72%
CALCIMO SEMI DRIED LIME
Similar to Dried Lime although has not been furnace dried. Excellent for those
wanting a cheaper alternative with reduced drift when spreading
When to use Calcimo Lime
- When the soil pHCaCI2 falls below 5
- When Soil Calcium levels are low
Warning Signs
- Indicated by Soil Testing
- Poor growth and low yields
- pasture invasion by dandelions, flat weed, sorrel, onion grass
- Spotting or edging on clover
- Less than anticipated response from the use of fertilizer
