Ag Lime, or agricultural lime, is a soil conditioner made from crushed limestone. Ag lime works by dissolving and releasing a base that lowers the acidity of the soil. For crops growing in less-than-ideal acidity conditions, Ag Lime can boost a farmer’s profit potential by providing a number of benefits, including improving fertilizer efficiency by as much as 50 percent.

 

Common Uses

• Farmers apply lime to increase crop yields. 

• Homeowners and landscapers use it to improve the appearance of lawns that have acidic soils.

• Waterlogged soils.

• Where seawater or saline groundwater is present.

• PASS / ASS (acid sulphate soils).
