The proven benefits of LimeX:

The unique benefits of LimeX have been proven in agricultural use over more than 80 years.  More recently, its advantages have been demonstrated in other sectors including brownfield development and the built environment:

• Optimises pH to maximise yields and profitability
• Rapidly corrects soil acidity for better return on expenditure
• Persistent pH control for better return on expenditure
• Supplies useful plant nutrients
• Improves soil structure at higher rates
• Compatiblity with organic systems

Nutrients

A unique advantage of LimeX70, and an important one regarding overall farm costs, is the value of the nutrients integral in the product.

The information below shows the minimum levels for three important nutrients and their value to your enterprise using the Fertiliser Manual (RB209 8th Edition 2010) as a guide.

Nutrient	LimeX70 (kg/tonne)	LimeX45 (kg/tonne)
Total P2O5	10*	7
Total MgO	7	5
Total SO3	9	6

Cereals, Sugar Beet, Oil Seed, Grassland

At an application rate of 5 tonne/ hectare (2t/ acre) of LimeX70 [ 7t/ hectare (3t/ acre) for LimeX45 ] the combined value of these integral nutrients is around £55 per hectare (inclusive of the savings in applying individual nutrients).
