Abstract
This NebGuide discusses how to calculate lime quality based on material purity and fineness and how this relates to application rates and recommendations.
The effectiveness of a liming material for correcting soil acidity depends on two factors — purity and fineness. These two factors, along with water content, must be considered in determining how much lime to apply per acre.
