Smaller parti- cles have more surface area, and react faster in the soil. So when time is of the essence, using finely ground liming materials (those smaller than 60 mesh will usually react within 30 days) will result in a quicker pH increase. As surface area increases, reaction rate slows as surface area de- creases.

In our area, lime isn’t al- ways readily available and nearby, resulting at times in cases where the trucking and spreading cost are greater than the cost of the lime itself! Quality also varies widely, making ‘fine tuning’ our lime application plan even more difficult. How do we put what we need where we need it in an efficient and economical manner? That is probably best explained if you know how a lime recommendation is made. Lime recommendations are initially fine-tuned based on crop sensitivity. Most of our common crops tend to tolerate higher pH levels (as long as they don’t exceed a pH of 7…). With that in mind, lime applica- tions should be based on the most sensitive crop to acid soils in the crop rotation. Alfalfa is the most sensitive crop we’ll typically find in the rotation, requiring pH levels right around 6.8. Soy- beans and clover species do best at pH’s between 6.0 and 6.4. Wheat and corn can tol- erate levels even below that. With that in mind, apply lime so that you aren’t limiting the most sensitive crop in the rotation. Application rates are given in pounds of effective calcium carbonate (ECC) per acre.
