We are a leading manufacturer of industrial minerals in Kenya. We manufacture a range of calcium and magnesium fertilizers that are suitable for the horticultural secure often referred to as agricultural lime.
Agricultural Lime
Agricultural lime is perhaps the best natural method of controlling the acid in soil. Over time, soils have a tendency to become more acidic due to leaching, chemicals, erosion, and organic factors. Acidic soil can severely have a negative impact on crop productivity, fortunately agricultural lime can significantly reduce or eliminate soil acidity.
The benefits of Agricultural lime include:
- Improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil
- Promoting better nitrogen fixation by legumes
- Increasing the availability of nutrients to plants
- Reducing toxicities in the soil
- Enhancing the effectiveness of some herbicides
- Supplying calcium, magnesium and other minerals to crops
Magnesium Fertilizer Lime
Magnesium based fertilizers work in a similar way as agricultural lime to increase the pH levels of acidic soil and return the earth to nearly neutral.
Magnesium based fertilizers add valuable nutrients into the earth that are essential to plants and crop sustainability.
Dolomitic lime is often used in soils that have magnesium deficiencies, or for certain crop growth that require additional magnesium.
