Agricultural Lime Technical Specifications
The two most important aspects of agricultural lime are the chemical makeup and the fineness of the ground limestone. The calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) or total neutralizing value (TNV) compares the chemistry of a particular quarry’s stone with the neutralizing power of pure calcium carbonate, effective neutralizing value (ENV).
| Minimum CaO | 40.6% |
| Minimum MgO | 13.1% |
| Minimum Total Oxides | 53.6% |
| CACO3 Equivalent | 105.0% |
| ENV | 97.5% |
Besides chemical makeup, the other most important aspect of agricultural lime is the fineness of the limestone. The objective is to put the smallest particles of limestone possible into the soil so carbonates can react with the acids. The smaller the particles, the faster the reaction.
This material is sold only by the ton.
| Sieve Size | % Passing |
| #20 (0.841mm) | 100% |
| #60 (0.250mm) | 92.50% |
| #100 (0.150mm) | 78.5% |
Agricultural Lime Uses
- Most agricultural lime is used as a fertilizer to correct high levels of acidity in the soil, which reduces plant growth. Over time, the application of modem chemical fertilizers are a major contributor to soil acidity.
- Agricultural lime is also used in coal burners at power plants to reduce the pollutants from emissions.
- Braen Stone produces and supplies agricultural lime primarily for use in agriculture, gardening and livestock farming.
- Other types of lime products, such as hydrated lime can be used as a disinfectant measure, producing a dry and alkaline environment in which bacteria do not readily multiply.
- In horticultural farming it can be used as an insect repellent, without causing harm to the pest or plant.
