To yield abundant, healthy crops, farmers must ensure their soil is in optimal condition. Aggregate lime, also known as agriculture lime or aglime, is often used in the agricultural industry to make their fields more fertile. The guide below explains why you should utilize this product and when it should be applied.

What Are the Benefits of Aggregate Lime?

Acidic soil often contains a lot of manganese and iron. This makes it harder for plants to take in the nutrients they need to thrive and can also stunt root growth. 

Aggregate lime is made of more basic ingredients—including calcium and magnesium. Professionals will test your soil to determine how much of each of these ingredients is most needed. Once applied, this substance will help neutralize the soil's pH. Not only do crops respond better to fertilizer under these conditions, but this product can also make some herbicides work more efficiently. 

Often, aglime's effects last for several years—meaning that one application can help you produce larger quantities and higher-quality yields for many seasons to come.

When Should You Schedule Aggregate Lime Spreading?

The high demand by farmers means this is a busy time of year for the stone contractors offering this service. Additionally, aggregate lime has been in short supply in recent years. Therefore, supplies in your area may run out if you wait. Therefore, arrange for aglime spreading as soon as possible.
