Carbonate Lime

A NATURAL WAY TO HEALTHY, FERTILE SOIL

WHAT IS CARBONATE LIME FERTILIZER?
Carbonate lime fertilizer is a natural soil amendment made primarily from ground limestone (a sedimentary rock rich in calcium carbonate – CaCO₃).
It’s an acid-neutralizing fertilizer widely used in agriculture and horticulture.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
✅ Soil deacidification – neutralizes excess acids, raising soil pH
✅ Improves soil structure – enhances aeration and water retention
✅ Boosts nutrient availability – many nutrients are more accessible at higher pH
✅ Supports beneficial microorganisms – soil bacteria thrive in neutral conditions

WHEN TO APPLY?
✅ Autumn (after harvest) – gives soil time to react before the next season
✅ Early spring – if autumn application wasn’t possible, can be applied before sowing (keep safe spacing from other fertilizers)

HOW TO APPLY?
✅  Application rates depend on soil pH and type – the lower the pH, the higher the need
✅ Typical dosage: 1–4 tons/ha depending on soil condition
✅ Distribute evenly and mix into the soil (e.g., by plowing or harrowing)

FOR WHICH SOILS AND CROPS?
✅ Especially recommended for acidic and strongly acidic soils (pH < 6)
✅ Key for crops like: cereals, corn, rapeseed, sugar beets, potatoes – as well as orchards and meadows

ADVANTAGES OF USING CARBONATE LIME

  • Improves plant health and crop yield
  • Increases the effectiveness of other fertilizers (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus)
  • 100% natural and safe – suitable for organic farming (meets ecological standards)
  • Acts gently but effectively – no sudden soil shifts, long-lasting results
