Growmax Granulated Lime

QUICK-ACTING SOIL IMPROVER Growmax is a quick-acting, granular, lime based, soil improver. It’s produced by burning crushed limestone in a modern lime kiln at 1,000 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. This delivers a product with a Total Neutralising Value of 160–170, compared to 90-98 for granulated or ground limestone. Intensive silage cutting and grazing are depleting Irish soils of lime. Today 60% of soils have below target soil pH and soil tests indicate that 90% of soils have suboptimal fertility for grass growth. Low soil fertility equates to a loss of more than 1.5ton of grass dry matter/Ha per year i.e. approx. €300 per Ha per year. Growmax is an alkaline material with a high pH. Therefore, with a single application, it rapidly raises soil pH. The high calcium content of 68% helps improve N, P and K uptake. It also promotes microbial life which aids release of plant nutrients from animal and plant litter. REDUCE COSTS. INCREASE QUALITY & YIELDS. Growmax helps achieve optimal pH levels, increasing yields, quality and therefore your bottom line. Expect to significantly increase slurry and fertiliser efficiency through its use. Growmax is fast acting – instantly reacting with moisture and so is ideal for conacre or leased lands. *TNV and Calcium content is more than 1.7 times that of granulated or ground limestone. *50% higher pH than granulated or ground limestone. *Reacts immediately and typically keeps acting for up to 2 years. *Spread yourself with standard equipment. *Suitable for grassland and tillage. *Helps to establish crops and grass in lower pH soils. *High Calcium content strengthens crops and helps prevent lodging. *Can apply on wet and hilly land unlike ground limestone.
