Pulverized limestone, also known as agricultural lime, is applied to soil to raise its pH, neutralize acidity, and replenish essential calcium and magnesium. This improves soil structure, increases beneficial bacterial activity, and boosts the effectiveness of fertilizers.
Feed-grade pulverized limestone provides a vital source of calcium and magnesium for animal nutrition.
-
Soil pH Regulation:By raising the pH of acidic soil, pulverized limestone allows plants to absorb necessary nutrients more efficiently, leading to better crop yields and healthier plants.
-
Skin and Eye Irritation:While considered non-toxic in small amounts, skin contact with pulverized limestone can cause burns or corrosion. It can also cause tissue damage and blindness if it gets into the eyes.
-
Protective Measures:When handling pulverized limestone, wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves and eye protection.
