- Product Highlights
- With its high content of calcium carbonate and high pH content, this product is very appropriate improving material for acidic soils or soils with a tendency to acidification.
- The product has an advantage over the conventional fertilizers. The nutrient regime of soils is harmonized by the optimization of soil reaction, the mobility and the absorption of heavy metals in it are reduced. The physical properties of soil - water permeability, structure, aeration, etc. are improved.
- By normalizing the pH content in the soil, your crop will grow normally and will absorb thoroughly the minerals from the soil, which will reduce the quantity of the deposited mineral fertilizers.
- It is ecologically clean improving material and can be used freely both in the classic farming and in the production of bio products.
- Liming, as a chemical amelioration activity, is extremely important agrochemical and agro-technical process and necessary condition for intensification of agricultural production on acidic soils, increasing fertility and the effect of mineral fertilization.

- Applications & Uses
- The product can be used freely both in the classic farming and in the production of bioproducts.
- The product is a suitable additive in composting and creating soil - peat mixtures for different plant and tree species.
- It is applied into the soil and the dosage is determined in accordance with the soil acidity.
- It is not recommended to apply to alkaline soils and crops which do not grow well in the conditions of high concentrations of carbonates and calcium in the environment.
- Suitable for applying by fertilizing equipment.
- Instructions For Use
Soil acidification is the result of various external factors (mainly fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers, acid rains, etc.), as well as ongoing processes in soils in the cultivation of various crops. The content of aluminum and magnesium in the various soil is essential for the processes of acidification.
The increased soil acidity is harmful for plants, as it inhibits and detains the normal growth during the entire vegetation period.
Soil Classification in Terms of Acidity
Degree of acidity рН (1n KCl) Very high acid Up to 4.0 High acid 4.0 - 4.5 Med acid 4.6 - 5.0 Low acid 5.1 - 5.6 Neutral Over 5.6
Liming
Liming have to be conducted regularly on the basis of establishing pH of the soil solution and reporting the contents of nutrients, humus, aluminum and magnesium. Liming regulate the absorption of nutrients and achieve better yields and greener production. Liming is best to be done before the autumn precipitation season, but spring crops and other plants likely to take place in early spring. In both cases, after incorporation it is advisable to carry out machining of soil, so that ПН-98 to be distributed more evenly in the soil.
Rate of Liming
The rate of liming depends on many factors (acidity of soil, structural and chemical composition of soils, climatic factors, etc.) and established neutralizing ability of improver used. There are various empirical equations to calculate the rate of liming of acidified soils. To achieve the desired pH 6.8 is recommended annually liming using smaller rates of liming. In the attached tables are presented neutralizing ability of soil improver ПН-98 and proposed sample soft norms of liming with ПН-98. Composition and performance of ПН-98 meets the requirements of EU for organic farming.
Neutralizing Ability Determination
Neutralizing ability is determined by the method of Tredvel and it is meausered in mEq/100 g material and sludge in grams are required to neutralize 1 mEq acidity.
Product Neutralizing Ability mEq/100gr gr/1mEq ПН-98 2856 0.035
Liming Rates of ПН-98-kg/ha
Liming rates are defined until reaching the optimum pH range in salty suspension with 1n KCl.
Average rates (kg ПН-98 for 1 ha) of liming depending on pH and mechanical composition of soil Soils рН (1n KCl) Upto 4.5 4.6 4.8 5.0 5.2 5.1 - 5.5 Sandy and light clay soils 455 390 340 285 230 130 Medium and heavy clay soils 650 590 550 490 440 375
The accurate rates for liming with ПН-98 are determined using the balance method, after a chemical analysis of soil. Depend on the type of soil, the thickness of the soil layer, the type of crop to be grown.
