Find information regarding lime under this Yellow™ heading. Lime is a mineral of great importance to the agriculture industry. Lime maintains the proper ph balance of the soil and minimises acidity, allowing fertilisers to improve the soil thus leading to better crop yields. Lime suppliers specialise in the supply of lime and other raw materials such as ceramic, silica sand, dolomite and magnetite used in construction, agriculture and landscaping. Suppliers of lime usually have their own transport trucks, and truck loading services to ensure the proper delivery of their product.
Lime suppliers can deliver bulk agricultural lime and other products to address client’s soil acidity issues. They also have equipment and staff who can spread, incorporate and mix materials into the client’s specified treatment areas. Lime suppliers can work in accordance with the client’s soil management plan (usually provided by soil analysis specialists) and ensure that the correct amount of lime is spread or mixed into the soil at correct depths, along with ensuring correct area coverage.
Suppliers often sell lime either dry lime or a super-fine version of the product infused with 2-3% of moisture. Lime added with moisture is often the choice for many because it is easier to transport and spread. Dried lime is furnace dried and is very soft, fine, and highly soluble. Semi-dried lime is similar to dried lime although has not been furnace dried. It is excellent for those wanting a cheaper alternative with reduced drift when spreading. Lime Increase yield and production, reduces soil acidity, increase soil calcium levels, improves nutrient availability and efficiency of fertilisers, improves soil structure, and reduces aluminium and manganese toxicities.
