AGGRAND Natural
Liquid Lime (NLL) is an easy, effective alternative to bagged lime for use
on permanent ground covers such as turf, pastures, and hay fields.
This very fine lime in a liquid suspension is absorbed by the
leaves and roots. Liquid Lime should be used with AGGRAND Natural
Fertilizer 4-3-3 to supply additional calcium to crops such as lettuce,
tomatoes, potatoes, and cabbage that need copious amounts of this vital
nutrient.
Calcium is the
plant's servant. It regulates opening and closing of stomates, removes
toxins from the tissue, contributes to the development of shoots and
roots, and keeps out unwelcome invaders.
Many acidic soils
do not contain enough calcium to support prolific plant growth. When soil
pH is below 6.0, plants may show signs of calcium deficiency such as
yellowing of leaves, retarded growth of roots and shoots, dieback of
growing tips, and premature death of older leaves. AGGRAND Liquid Lime
applications are the easy way to correct a calcium deficiency without
tilling in bagged lime.
Soil liming must
not be ignored when planting a new lawn, pasture or hay field. Soil liming
increases microbial activity and the proliferation of earthworms and
beneficial insects. Soil health is an on-going process; the immediate
goal, however, is producing green lawns, productive pastures and high
yielding hay fields that need calcium to promote prolific plant growth. |
