Calcifert Lime

Quickly control soil pH with LKAB’s highly reactive granulated lime. Calcifert is proven to neutralise soil acidity and can be applied year-round using conventional farm fertiliser spreading equipment in bout widths up to 36 metres. 

Made from fine limestone flour combined with a water-soluble organic binder, Calcifert Lime consists of non-toxic, hard granules of between 2 and 5mm in diameter, produced in the UK from 100% British limestone, mined in the Peak District. 

It can be spread on bare ground or to growing crops, including organic systems, forestry and horticultural use and is suitable for all crops including grassland, cereals, fruit, oilseed rape and even hops. Calcifert is a cost-effective option thanks to lower application rates than conventional lime and is suitable for spot treatment on small areas.

Monitoring the pH of your soil is key to improving crop performance as low soil pH will reduce growth and ultimately yield. LKAB Calcifert has been proven to quickly raise and then sustain soil pH at a range of soil depths from trials carried out at Tiln Farm in Nottinghamshire.

Agricultural Lime Association assured under the AQS (AgLime Quality Standard) and approved for organic systems.

  • Calcifert Lime application rates are lower than conventional lime making it a cost-effective alternative. How much you apply will depend on your soil type, acid levels and crop. 

    Please contact us for more guidance on specific rates or view our application rates chart.

  • Calcifert Lime can be applied all year round.

    Applying Calcifert Lime before wet weather will increase the speed at which it reacts with the soil.

  • Animals can be put back to graze on treated land immediately.

    Calcifert Lime is not harmful to animals.
