Most ag lime averages 25 mesh which makes it 5 times coarser than SuperCal 98G and 1/5 as effective. Because 100 mesh has a surface area almost twice that of 60 mesh it should get a rating of 200% on the ENP scale. Since lime is not very soluble the finer its ground the more effective it is. ENP does not give more value for a finer grind of lime. The ENP of a given liming material is a function of three things - total neutralizing power (TNP-depends upon purity of the source and the ratio of calcium to magnesium ), fineness (size of the particles ), and moisture content. Ohio uses a term - effective neutralizing power (ENP ) - to compare the strength of different liming materials. This customer's father applied 2 tons of lime to his farms and there was no pH adjustment a year later. Last year when applying 98G to a grid sampled field we changed the pH 1 point (not 0.1 but 1.0 whole point ) in one growing season. In trials we have seen adjustments to the soil in as little a 2 weeks. SuperCal 98G pelletized lime does change the pH of soils faster and more effectively than ag lime. It is an effective lime source because it is very fine material as well as easy to handle and apply using broadcast fertilizer spreaders however, it simply cannot neutralize soil acidity any better (or faster ) than conventional ag lime materials. It is not that pelletized lime is a poor lime source. This question comes up every year - can I put down a lower rate of pelletized lime and achieve the same result as typical ag-lime at a higher rate? Perhaps, but using a fraction of the recommended rate (say a fourth or a third ) will likely not achieve the desired result. Here's my response to their effort to disprove pelletized lime.Ī ) Pelletized Lime, Can I Get Away with Lower Rates? - R. Network C.O.R.N Newsletter 2009-09 April 14, 2009- April 21, 2009, published by Ohio State. $12 will buy a ton a bit at the quarry, Acid soil really responds to lime. Might be the best money you spend all year, might not. Posted 06:57 (#684333 - in reply to #684315) Subject: Re: Pelletized LimeĢ00 lbs is $12 spread here. Will I get any response by using pelletized lime for this years corn and soybeans. Wanted to spread beat lime this winter but conditions didn't allow, to much snow. Posted 06:04 (#684315) Subject: Pelletized Lime ![]() Its quality is strictly controlled and guaranteed.You are logged in as a guest. This hydrated lime is of high purity and whiteness. Carmeuse has developed limes to satisfy the needs of all designers, craftsmen and home-owners for their hemp-building construction. This improves the building's air quality and controls humidity, whilst reducing the risk of the growth of molds and fungi that may affect occupants’ health. Buildings with hemp have high vapor permeability, which facilitates the through-transfer of humidity and thus avoids condensation and trapped moisture within the building. That heat is released when required, such as during overcast periods or at night, to provide substantial energy and cost savings. Hemp-building results in low-energy houses, because hempcrete can absorb and hold heat (thermal mass) during sunny periods, when heat is not needed for internal living or work spaces. As a result, the use of hemp and lime when building helps to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings, and can even lead to a negative footprint for the entire construction. ![]() Hemp absorbs carbon dioxide as the plant grows. The product complies with CE marking and national regulations. ![]() It is recommended for all types of masonry, plastering and rendering, and even for the finest smooth finishing layers. SuperCalco ® S is classified as building lime CL90-S according to EN 459-1, adapted to the needs of craftsmen thanks to its higher workability. It is recommended for masonry and rougher types of plastering and rendering. SuperCalco ® M is classified as building lime CL70-S according to EN 459-1, adapted to the needs of craftsmen thanks to its higher workability and better integration in sand-lime mixtures. Easy to mix and very workable, it has a good adhesion, is quick setting, and has excellent early strength. It is a workable binder suitable for more general purposes. It is our greenest product without cement in the mix, guaranteeing a compressive strength of 5 MPa after 28 days. SuperCalco ® A5 is a formulated lime classified as FL A5 according to EN 459-1.
