Lime and Gypsum

GOLDEN FINE SUGAR LIME

Sugar Lime is a byproduct of the sugar beet refining process. It is one of the quickest reacting lime products on the market. It helps phosphorous and molybdenum become more available to growing plants. Sugar Lime adds calcium which improves soil structure and tilth, thereby reducing water and nutrient loss due to runoff and erosion.

The health of crops and other soil life, the availability of nutrients, and the activity of pesticides are all affected by pH. Proper soil pH reduces aluminum and iron toxicity in plants. The improved overall nutrient availability can promote vigorous plant growth.

FINE & PRILLED GYPSUM

Gypsum is a direct source of calcium & sulfur for plants. It can improve soil health & is known to improve soil structure, as well as the physical properties of sodic & heavy clay soils.

When applied to non-tilled fields, Gypsum can decrease erosion & runoff . Gypsum helps to prevent "soil particulate dispersion, decrease crust formation, aid in seedling emergence, increase water infiltration, and decrease the loss of soil and nutrients due to surface runoff and erosion."

As a soil amendment, Gypsum can decrease irrigation costs as more water is "available to crops". and

Gypsum can also help reduce the "transport of nutrients, sediment, pesticides, and other contaminants to surface waters".
