Since water is required for lime to react with the soil, effects of a lime application will be slower in a dry soil. It often takes a year or more before a response can be measured even under perfect conditions. However, a response may be observed within weeks of the application when soil pH is extremely low. It is important to apply lime immediately after the growing season or crop removal to allow lime to react, correcting soil pH before the next growing season.

The reactivity time also depends on the type of lime used. Liming materials differ widely in their neutralizing powers due to variations in the percentage of calcium and/or magnesium. Usually, liming materials with a high calcium carbonate equivalent, or CCE (the percentage of usable lime in a liming product), tend to neutralize soil acidity faster than those with a low CCE. The coarseness of the liming material will also influence how fast the lime will react. In other words, the finer the liming material, the faster it will influence the soil. AGGRAND Liquid Lime is very fine lime held in suspension so it works immediately when applied to the soil. AGGRAND Liquid Lime can work alone or in addition to a regular liming program and with AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer.
