Lime Application Calculator. Calcifert Lime application recommendations. For your convenience, we have prepared guidelines for the recommended application of Calcifert Lime for different soils and field pH. This information is based on crop trials. Details can be found in the lime application recommendations sheet as available for download from below list. Where application rates of over 10 tonnes/ha (4 tonnes/acre) are necessary on arable land the ALA recommends that lime should be applied as two dressings (first dressing ploughed in). The application rates shown are based on material having a neutralising value of 54 and fineness of 40% passing 150 microns. « Select a different calculator. What is limestone? When gardeners talk about "lime" or "limestone," they mean either calcium carbonate (calcite or calcitic limestone), or calcium-magnesium carbonate (dolomite or dolomitic limestone). Of the two forms, dolomite is preferred as it provides magnesium as well as calcium.
The Lime Association of Texas (LAT) represents the collective interests of an industry with a long history of service to the State of Texas. Quality, integrity and responsive action to the customers and governmental agencies of Texas are the hallmark of the LAT mission. The member companies engage in the manufacture of high quality lime.

Volume basis lime requirement - calculates the mass (in kg) of lime required to neutralise a volume (in cubic metres) of ASS materials. Lime (kg /m 3 soil) = Soil bulk density x (Net acidity (%S x 30.59) x 1.02 x Safety Factor) / ENV : Soil bulk density (tonne/m 3): enter bulk density of ASS material in tonne/m 3: Net acidity (% S) Lime, either alone or in combination with other materials, can be used to treat a range of soil types. The mineralogical properties of the soils will determine their degree of reactivity with lime and the ultimate strength that the stabilized layers will develop.
