To demonstrate best practice liming strategies and a field demonstration of the impacts of lime quality.
• Paddocks with a history of no-till management (cropping and pasture) may have highly stratified pH values in the top 20cm. This means accurate testing for soil acidity may require sampling at 5cm increments, rather than the traditional
10cm increments.
• Not all lime has the same Calcium Carbonate Equivalence (CCE) value and therefore they have different capacity to neutralise acidic soils, get yours tested.
