Liming is an essential soil improvement process that makes it possible to achieve acidity levels that are optimal for crop productivity (pH 6–7). This is particularly important for cereals and legumes. Liming of soil not only adjusts soil acidity, but also improves the availability of nutrients that plants need, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, sulphur, calcium, magnesium, and molybdenum.
The lime treatment of soil not only improves the availability of nutrient elements, but also the microbiological condition of the soil. It stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria such as nitrogen fixers and nitrifiers, reducing the effect of soil and parasitic fungi. In addition, liming has a positive effect on the physical properties of the soil, contributing to a more stable soil structure and thus improving soil fertility. Lime treatment is an essential step towards a bountiful harvest!
