Control your soil pH efficiently with Calcifert

With input prices continuing to rise, arable farmers are looking for efficiency in every area of production

Acidic soil pH (below pH 5.5) can have a significant impact on crop growth, yields and response to fertiliser application and it is therefore more important than ever to balance your soil pH to optimise yields.

Calcifert granulated lime can be spread using conventional fertiliser spreading equipment, so there is no need for expensive contractors.  And recent independent tests have shown that Calcifert can be spread at bout widths of up to 36 metres - saving fuel, labour and the effects of compaction, whilst still controlling soil pH and maximizing crop production.

"With fuel prices at an all time high, farmers need to be minimising the time spent out on the field running machinery," said Mick Stovin, Commercial Manager at Francis Flower. "Being able to accurately spread granulated lime using your own equipment, and at such wide bout widths, represents a significant saving."
