Fineness rating: 5.0% of granules are retained on 2 mm mesh with zero effectiveness. 5.0% of granules passed 2 mm mesh but retained on 0.15 mm with effectiveness of 0.6. 90.0% of granules passed 0.15 mm mesh with effectiveness of 1.0.

TURF BENEFITS

• Water and soil microbial activity breakdown the lime granules to rapidly neutralize the soil pH.
• Contains calcium and magnesium to balance the exchange capacity of the soil which allows a better nutrient absorption through turf roots.
• At soil water pH of 5.0, the relative nutrient efficiency is approx. 50% for nitrogen, 33% for phosphorus, and 50% for potassium. When soil water pH reaches 6.0, the relative efficiency becomes 90% for nitrogen, 50% for phosphorus, and 100% for potasium. Neutralizing soil water pH to 6.5 will help each of N, P, and K reach an efficiency of 100%.
• Reduces thatch accumulation in a short period of time, provided that the soil is not compacted.
• Improves soil structure to favour root growth, and water percolation.
• Stimulates the soil microbial activity.
• Reduces the toxicity of aluminium, iron, manganese, and copper in acid soils.
• Decreases potassium losses through leaching.
• Improves the efficiency of certain herbicides.
• Can be broadcast with any type of spreaders.
• Lime granules start to breakdown after the first rainfall or irrigation.

PRODUCT SPECS
Bag kg (lb): 20 (40).

Product application rate : According to the buffer pH of the soil. Follow the recommended rates in the soil test report, particularly in the case of creeping bentgrass to avoid take-all patch disease caused by overliming.
