Agricultural lime, also known as aglime, is a soil amendment that is made by grinding limestone or dolomite rock into a fine powder. It is used to increase the pH level of acidic soils, which can improve plant growth and yield.
The importance of agricultural lime lies in its ability to neutralize soil acidity. Soil acidity is a common problem in many agricultural regions, especially in areas with high rainfall or in regions where the soil naturally contains a lot of acidic minerals. Acidic soils can have a negative impact on plant growth and yield, as well as soil health and nutrient availability.
