Lime Calculator
It is a key tool for precise soil pH management that simplifies the calculation of the optimal lime application rate. It helps prevent over- or under-application, improve soil health, and maximize crop yields. By entering variables such as target pH, lime quality (ENV), and price, the calculator instantly determines the required dose and total cost, allowing users to compare products and choose the most efficient and economical option.
It is an essential tool for precise soil pH management that simplifies the complex process of determining the optimal lime application rate. It helps farmers avoid costly over- or under-application, improve soil health, and maximize crop potential. By entering key variables such as target pH, lime quality (ENV), and price, the application instantly calculates the exact application rate. Farmers can automatically retrieve current soil properties (such as pH and soil type) from Dimitra’s soil database using coordinates or enter them manually. The calculator provides a clear recommendation and total cost analysis, making it easy to compare different lime products and choose the most effective and economical option for their land.

Sector:
Increases fertilizer efficiency: By correcting soil pH, it releases existing nutrients and ensures their effectiveness, allowing farmers to use less fertilizer and reducing nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions.
Reduces soil erosion: Proper pH promotes a healthy microbial environment, improving soil structure and water infiltration, making soils more resistant to erosion by water or wind.
Detoxifies the soil: Neutralizes toxic elements such as soluble aluminum found in acidic soils, resulting in healthier crops and protecting the surrounding ecosystem.
