Improve soil fertility and optimisecrop and grass performance

G-LIME granulated lime is a unique, fast acting soil conditioner, specially formulated to help manage soil pH, improving soil fertility whilst optimising crop and grass performance.

G-LIME will help to neutralise acidic soils and replenish the nutrients that rainfall reduces. It can be spread using a conventional fertiliser spreader, will act quickly and lower application rates.

GRANULATED LIME

Balancing AcidityThe effectiveness and speed of reaction of a liming material is quantified using a reactivity test.

The value of a liming product should be calculated on their cost per unit of NV and other factors such as speed of reactivity, effect of any impurities, evenness of spreading, fineness and hardness.

What is G-Lime?

G-LIME granulated lime is a unique fast acting soil conditioner, specially formulated to help manage soil pH, improving soil fertility whilst optimising crop and grass performance. It is the only granulated lime produced in Ireland and is a registered trademark of Kilwaughter Chemical Co Ltd.

It provides farmers with a quick, easy, clean and convenient way of applying lime to grassland and crops, using a conventional spreader. G -Lime is made up of superfine (under 125 micron) lime, for faster reactivity in the soil.

G-Lime Application Rates

G-Lime application rates will vary and are dependant on the type of soil, the current pH level, the crop, whether arable or grassand the time of year.

A soil analysis should be conducted to ascertain which application rate is appropriate. In general, arable crops need a higher application rate than grass.

Lime raises pH levels in soil bringing better utilisation of expensive fertiliser and slurry. It improves nutrient uptake by plants and grass and promotes healthy growth.

Packaging

G-Lime is available in 600kg, 500kg

& 25kg bags.
