OzCal is a water soluble granule form of Lime. This product is used to correct Calcium deficiencies and increase the pH of acidic soils. OzCal is best distributed with a fertiliser spreader. 

 

Application rate: 2-5kg/100m2

 

  • Ozcal can be applied by growers with standard fertiliser application equipment as a straight or blended with fertiliser.
  • TheThe ultra-fine particles in every granule of Ozcal results in high reactivity of the pure calcium carbonate. Therefore, greatly reduced rates are applied compared to Aglime.
  • Lower application rates allow growers to carry out annual soil maintenance combined with their fertiliser applications, rather than large singe doses of Aglime every 3-5 years.
  • This product provides an efficient treatment for soil pH adjustment and where calcium deficiency symptoms exist.
  • Quick release upon contact with water for faster results that last.

The importance of neutralising value and particle size

Neutralising Value (NV) is an indicator of a Lime’s purity and its ability to neutralise acid in the soil. The most accurate way to assess lime is to use effective neutralising value (ENV), which is a calculation that takes into account the particle size and the NV of a lime. Agricultural Lime typically has an ENV of 40% to 80%. Ozcal has a NV of 99% indicating high purity and ultra fine particles. The smaller the particle size the more reactive the Lime is in the soil and the quicker acidity is neutralised.
