Estimate agricultural lime needed to raise soil pH.
The pH gain needed is scaled by a typical rule of thumb and corrected for the product's neutralization strength. Lime counteracts acid soil that locks up nutrients, so an accurate rate improves what the fertilizer section can do.
Lime Application
Lime = pH rise x 50 / efficiency rating x 100
Lime = pH rise x 50 / efficiency rating x 100 The pH gain needed is scaled by a typical rule of thumb and corrected for the product's neutralization strength.
