CHEMICAL FORMULA: CaCO3 REACTIVITY: 96-98%
Limestone is a powerful ameliorant that has a long-term effect on the soil, optimizing its physical and chemical characteristics. This substance promotes the replacement of hydrogen ions (H+) and mobile aluminum (Al3+) with calcium ions (Ca2+) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) in the soil absorption complex, which reduces acidity and increases the content of alkaline substances. The application of limestone in the recommended amount, calculated on the basis of pH, ensures a stable and long-lasting effect of soil reclamation.
Stabilization of the soil pH level: Granulated limestone contributes to the normal development of crops and ensures the absorption of essential nutrients.
Maintaining healthy soil microflora: Regular application of limestone compensates for the acidic reaction of nitrogen fertilizers and reduces their negative impact.
Improved ventilation and water penetration into the soil: Limestone increases the mechanical stability of the soil, making it looser and more conducive to tillage.
Promoting the development of the root system of plants: Calcium in limestone promotes the growth and regeneration of root hairs, improving nutrient absorption.
