Lime And Managing Soil Health
Liming to maintain good soil pH levels and avoiding yield losses is just as important as applying fertiliser for maximising yields.\n\nIf growers let soil pH levels in the topsoil run-down (pH in CaCl2 < 5.0) they are at risk of creating soil acidity issues at depth which are harder and more expensive to treat.\n\nIn general, not enough lime has been applied frequently enough to address acidification occurring within the whole soil profile, so soil test to depth and calculate lime requirements for 0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm, not just the top 10cm of soil.\n\nContact:\nLisa Miller \nSouthern Farming Systems \n\n23 High St, Inverleigh, Vic 3321 \n0488 600 226 \nlmiller@sfs.org.au \n\nFurther Information: \n\nhttps://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2019/02/lime-and-liming-managing-soil-health\n\nhttp://www.sfs.org.au/SoilAcidityLimeResponse\nhttps://agex.org.au/project/soil-acidity/\nhttps://grdc.com.au/legumes-in-acidic-soils\nhttps://www.agric.wa.gov.au/soil-acidity/soil-acidity-frequently-asked-questions-faqs\nhttp://vlpa.asn.au/w/product-specification/\nLearn more about your ad choices.
