Restore Soil Balance With Agricultural Limestone
Correct acidic soil conditions, improve nutrient availability, and support healthier crop performance with premium agricultural limestone solutions.
What Is Agricultural Limestone?
Agricultural limestone is a natural soil amendment made from crushed limestone or dolomitic limestone. It is commonly used to reduce soil acidity and improve growing conditions for crops.
By helping balance soil pH, limestone supports better nutrient availability, healthier root systems, and improved fertilizer efficiency. It also supplies essential nutrients like calcium and magnesium that contribute to long-term soil productivity.

Benefits of Agricultural Limestone
Raises Soil pH
Helps neutralize acidic soil conditions to create a healthier growing environment.
Improves Nutrient Availability
Helps water move more efficiently through compacted soil.
Supplies Calcium & Magnesium
Provides valuable nutrients that support crop and root development.
Increases Fertilizer Efficiency
Helps maximize nutrient performance and reduce waste.
Supports Soil Biology
Encourages healthier microbial activity within the soil.
Improves Long-Term Productivity
Supports sustainable soil health and crop performance.
How Limestone increase soil pH
In order to select the correct application rate use a soil test to determine both the soil texture group and the current pH. As the percentage of clay in a soil increases, it requires proportionately more limestone to raise the pH. This means it is much harder to change the pH of clay soil than sandy soil.
| Lime Requirements (Tons per Acre) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Soil Texture | From pH 4.5 to 5.5 | From pH 5.5 to 6.5 |
| Sand and Loamy Sand | 0.5 | 0.6 |
| Sandy loam | 0.8 | 1.3 |
| Loam | 1.2 | 1.7 |
| Silt loam | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| Clay loam | 1.9 | 2.3 |
| Muck | 3.8 | 4.3 |
