Limex 70
LimeX is the UK's leading agricultural liming product for the correction of soil pH Limex helps maximise crop yield and profitability, containing four essential nutrients – calcium, phosphate, magnesium and sulphur.
LimeX is a truly versatile product, restoring pH in soils across a wide-range of arable crops including sugar beet, cereals, oilseeds, brassicas, carrots, potatoes and maize. LimeX is also widely used for soil pH correction in grassland and forage crops. Furthermore, it is used on many specialist field and glasshouse vegetable and horticultural crops.
LimeX has Soil Association approval for use in organic farming systems.
As a calcium carbonate precipitate LimeX benefits from exceptional fineness, typically ranging between 2-15 microns.
In addition to calcium, LimeX contains valuable quantities of phosphate, magnesium and sulphur that can be included in nutrient management plans. With at least 85% passing 150micron sieve LimeX scores over 95% reactivity in AQS testing providing both fast acting and lasting pH amendment.
