Calcifert Lime

Calcifert granulated lime is proven to neutralise soil acidity. You can apply Calcifert granulated lime fertiliser year-round using conventional farm equipment. It is also a cost-effective way to control soil pH with our highly reactive product rapidly.

Calcifert Lime product details

Monitoring the pH of your soil is key to improving crop performance, as low soil pH will reduce crop growth and ultimately yield. Calcifert is proven to quickly raise and sustain soil pH at various soil depths, as our trial carried out at Tiln Farm in Nottinghamshire shows.

  • Agricultural Lime Association assured under the AQS
  • A cost-effective way of controlling pH
  • Approved for organic farming
  • Neutralising value of 54
  • Produced from 100% British limestone
Calcifert Sulphur

One of the purest calcium sulphate products on the market for arable and grassland soils is deficient in calcium and sulphur. Calcifert Sulphur is a granulated calcium sulphate product.

Trials of Calcifert Sulphur have resulted in:

  • Strengthening of the plant’s physical structure [link], helping to protect against disease and use sunlight and nutrients more efficiently
  • Improvements to spring barley yield where there was a sulphur deficiency
  • Increase in grass protein levels in three on consecutive silage cuts on grassland
  • Improved digestibility of grass forage
  • Improved soil structure and workability by reducing compaction caused by equipment and livestock
  • Calcium (CaO) 39%
  • Sulphur (SO3) 56%
  • Neutralising value of 0
Calcifert LS11

An innovative new soil treatment available for the first time to UK farmers promises to balance soil pH and supply essential sulphur to soils in one easy, cost-effective application.

Calcifert LS11 both neutralises soil to maintain a balanced pH and contains 11% SOto help address the widespread sulphur deficiency on UK farmland.

Calcifert LS11 is suitable for all cropping situations that have a requirement for both soil neutralisation and a Sulphur supply. The high percentage of Calcium Lime will optimise the soil pH, being pure high-reactivity Calcium Carbonate, making more nutrients bioavailable. The Calcium Sulphate portion of the product will supply much-needed plant available Calcium and Sulphur, which are commonly undersupplied in crop nutrient management plans.

Calcifert Mag

Our fertiliser Magnesium Lime is ideal for soils with a pH imbalance and lacking magnesium.

Magnesium is an essential ingredient of chlorophyll, the green plant pigment that gives leaves their colour and enables photosynthesis, as well as a crucial to phosphate and nitrogen metabolism and a key component for healthy plant growth and protein synthesis.

Along with potassium, magnesium helps regulate a plant’s uptake of water, and adequate magnesium levels are vital to establishing good crops. Magnesium lime also balances soil pH, giving improved crop performance, better crop quality and yield and better fertiliser efficiency.
