Quick Reacting Lime
MICRONA’s Agricultural Lime has a high dissolution rate with a lightning-quick response for pH adjustment and calcium nutrition. It is able to react and neutralize soil acids very efficiently. Due to its micronized particle size and quick reactivity, it is also effective at reducing application rates and therefore helping growers lower input costs.
Crop Fertility Management
MICRONA™ Agricultural Lime helps support proper soil structure and porosity which enhances plant respiration. With a particle size below 200 mesh, it supports natural biological life in the soil which more effectively releases needed minerals to the plant. It has long been known that most soil microbes are sensitive to acid soils. Research done by soil microbiologists shows that fine agricultural lime has the largest positive impact on earthworms and microbes compared to coarser lime or dolomite.¹
