AGGRAND Organic Liquid Lime

AGGRAND Natural Organic Lime is an easy, effective alternative to bagged lime for use on permanent ground covers such as turf, pastures and hay fields. This product utilizes very fine lime in a liquid suspension, which is absorbed by the leaves and roots. AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime should be used with AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer 4-3-3 to supply additional calcium to crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, and lettuce that need copious amounts of this vital nutrient.

Calcium is the plant's servant. It regulates opening and closing of stomates, removes toxins from the tissue, contributes to the development of shoots and roots, and keeps out unwelcome invaders.

Many acidic soils do not contain enough calcium to support prolific plant growth. When soil pH is below 6.0, plants may show signs of calcium deficiency such as yellowing of leaves, retarded growth of roots and shoots, dieback of growing tips, and premature death of older leaves. AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime applications are the easy way to correct a calcium deficiency without tilling in bagged lime.

Soil liming must not be ignored when planting a new lawn, pasture or hay field. Soil liming increases microbial activity and the proliferation of earthworms and beneficial insects. Soil health is an on-going process; the immediate goal, however, is producing green lawns, productive pastures and high yielding hay fields that need calcium to promote prolific plant growth.

Typical granular or bagged limestone application for field or garden will specify to apply a certain pounds-per-acre or per 100 square feet in order to raise the soil pH, increasing alkalinity. Depending on how fine the lime is and the character of the soil, it could take three years to raise the pH of the soil one point. The time usually allowed for all the limestone to break down and become a useful part of the soil is around three years. Most ground limestone is usually 50 % through a 100 fine mesh screen.

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime is super finely ground Dolomitic limestone with 100% passing through a 300 fine mesh screen. When mixed, as directed, with water the lime becomes available to the plant immediately. The readily available calcium in the soil around the plants encourages the utilization of other nutrients. The crop responds with vigorous, green growth since it can now use nutrients more effectively.

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime is now available for purchase in Wisconsin.

Lime general suggestion:
Folier: 15-20 gallons of water to 1-gallon of Liquid Lime
Broadcast:  25-30 gallons of water with 1-gallon of Liquid Lime.

In general but not a substitute - 1-gallon of Liquid Lime can work instantly in place of 500 lbs of ag lime. Ag lime still needs to be used for soil adjustments in PH but the liquid lime works faster!!
