Do you spread Lime? Have you heard of Calciprill?

Calciprill® is a 2-6mm lime granule made from finely ground, high purity limestone with certified organic input. It is manufactured in Australia by Omya AG. Calciprill is 36% calcium, an essential nutrient for plant growth.

It is low in dust, easy to spread and breaks down rapidly in moisture. Calciprill can be applied regularly at low rates to maintain a healthy soil pH, replace depleted calcium and alleviate toxicity of certain ions in the soil, such as aluminium. Regular maintenance of soil pH and nutrient balance is agronomically preferable to applying larger quantities of Aglime on a typical 5 to 10 year basis.

So why use Calciprill?
- Enables Accurate placement of product
- Can be spread
- Can be sown
- Effective in spot treatment
- Essential for plant growth
- Annual application on short term leased country can save money due to faster PH adjustment.
- Improved N & P availability.

Omya produces a number of preferable lime products. Supply is tight. Please call to discuss your requirements today.
