Lime for Agriculture
Soil pH correction and calcium supplementation on acidic land.
What lime does in agriculture
Agricultural liming raises soil pH on acidic land, unlocking nutrient availability and improving structure. Hydrated lime acts fast; ground limestone acts slowly and lasts longer. Which one suits a field depends on how quickly the correction is needed.
Where it is used
- 01Soil pH correction on acidic land

Grade and size fraction are agreed at quotation stage against the specific duty.
What decides the grade and the price
Five things the sales desk will ask. Having them ready turns a first call into a quotation.
- 01Quantity per consignment and how often — a one-off lot and a monthly contract are priced differently.
- 02The form that suits your intake: lumps, a ground powder or hydrated lime, and the size fraction your feed system takes.
- 03The parameters that matter for the duty — for a flux it is CaO and reactivity; for dosing it is particle size and available lime.
- 04Packing for the journey and the storage at your end: bags, jumbo bags or bulk.
- 05Delivery point and the dates material is needed on site, so transport is priced to the door.
