Use Tarmac Agricultural lime for improved performance

Neutralises Soil Acidity: Agricultural lime effectively raises soil pH levels, creating an optimal environment for plant growth. Acidic soils can hinder nutrient availability and microbial activity; by neutralising acidity, lime fosters a conducive setting for crops to thrive.

Enhances Nutrient Availability: By adjusting soil pH, lime improves the availability and uptake of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This adjustment leads to more efficient fertilizer use and healthier plant development.

Improves Soil Structure: The application of lime enhances soil aggregation, promoting better aeration and water infiltration. Improved soil structure facilitates robust root development and increases the soil’s resilience against erosion.

Provides Essential Nutrients: Lime supplies vital calcium and magnesium, essential for various plant physiological processes. These nutrients play a crucial role in cell wall structure and chlorophyll production, directly influencing plant health and productivity.

What Is Agricultural Lime?
Agricultural lime, also known as aglime or garden lime, is a natural soil amendment made from pulverized limestone (calcium carbonate) or dolomitic limestone (calcium magnesium carbonate). It is widely used in agriculture to neutralize acidic soils, improve soil structure, and enhance crop productivity.

Aglime (Agricultural Limestone)

Maglime (Dolomitic Limestone)

Agslag (Agricultural Slag)

Composition
Derived from finely crushed limestone rich in calcium carbonate.
A blend of calcium and magnesium carbonates.
A byproduct of steel production, rich in calcium silicate.
Benefits
Aglime neutralises acidic soils, enhances nutrient uptake, and improves soil structure. Regular application can lead to significant improvements in crop yields.
Ideal for soils deficient in magnesium, Maglime corrects acidity while supplying essential nutrients, promoting robust plant growth.
Agslag provides a steady release of nutrients over extended periods, reducing the frequency of applications to every two to three years, depending on soil pH and phosphate response.
Application
Recommended every 3-5 years, depending on soil conditions and crop requirements.
Particularly beneficial for crops sensitive to magnesium deficiency, such as legumes and certain vegetables.
Suitable for soils requiring long-term nutrient management and structural improvement.
