| Calcifert Lime | Calcifert granulated Lime is proven to neutralise soil acidity. Made from fine limestone flour combined with a water-soluble organic binder, Calcifert Lime consists of hard granules between 2mm and 5mm in diameter. Calcifert Lime has many benefits over conventional lime. The biggest benefit is that Calcifert Lime doesn’t need to be applied by specialist contractors – it can be applied using conventional farm fertiliser spreading equipment. | Product Analysis: Ca 39.3%, CaO 55%, M <0.5%, MgO <0.5% Neutralising value (as CaO): 54 Moisture content: <0.5% Reactivity (HCI): 97% |
| Calcifert Sulphur | Calcifert Sulphur is a quick and easy way to supply both calcium and sulphur to your soil. With a typical analysis of calcium as CaO: 39% and sulphur expressed as SO3: 56%, Calcifert Sulphur is one of the purest calcium sulphate products on the market. Calcifert Sulphur has a neutralising value of zero, meaning it won’t affect the pH of your soil. | Product Analysis: Ca 27.9%, CaO 39%, S 22.4%, SO3 56% Neutralising value (as CaO): 1 Moisture content: <0.5% |

Here are the most common questions and answers for this product.
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.
For Calcifert Sulphur, this will depend on the crops Nitrogen requirement and is where you should use FACTS qualified advice. Some examples would be 175 kg/ha Winter Wheat and grass silage three cuts.
Please contact us for more guidance on specific rates or view our application rates chart.
Calcifert products should be stored under cover in a dry place. For guidance on the secure storage of Calcifert granulated soil conditioners, please visit the data centre.
Calcifert Lime can be applied all year round. Applying Calcifert Lime before wet weather will increase the speed at which is reacts with the soil.
Animals can be put back to graze on treated land immediately. Calcifert Lime is not harmful to animals.
Calcifert granulated products are sold through merchants and distributors across the UK and Ireland. Please contact your local stockist for more information on pricing.
You only need to apply this once in the spring.
For Calcifert Sulphur, after applying the granules, your soil only requires straight Nitrogen fertiliser.
Yes, it will move the excess Mg from the soil, replacing it with Calcium and increasing flocculation, ultimately making the soil operate more aerobically.
The crop available Calcium will be taken up by the plant, reducing these conditions because Calcium will better supply the cell structure.
All soils require Magnesium when balancing the soil’s nutrients. However, once a heavier clay soil has the correct level, it is less likely that it will need Mag Lime. Sandy soils do not hold on to nutrients as strongly and require regular amounts of all including Magnesium. These soils are therefore more likely to request this product.
Ensure a broad-spectrum soil analysis is carried out so that the balance between Calcium and Magnesium can be worked out.
Calcifert Sulphur has a neutralising value of zero, meaning it won’t affect the pH of your soil.
