Calcium Carbonate Usage in AGRICULTURAL LIME

At Egypt Mineral Ores [E.M.O.], we provide a complete liming solution for farmers as well as a wide range of limestone products for agricultural and horticultural industries.

Agricultural lime is one of the most important farming materials used to help maximise crop yields by limiting the adverse effects of high soil acidity and minimise the use of other, more costly fertilisers. Substantial research has been done on the optimal pH range for various crops and the addition of agricultural lime can help to maintain this range.

Calcium Carbonate Usage in FERTILISERS

Egypt Mineral ores [E.M.O.] supplies limestone for the manufacture of granular and compound fertilisers. These fertilisers are often tailored to particular farm production systems and regional soil deficiencies for exceptional results. Limestone is also used as a carrier in certain agrochemical and pesticide formulations.

Lime is an important source of calcium for plants and ensures strong growth, resulting in improved fruit and leaf quality. Garden lime is ideal for use on vegetable patches and flower borders as well as at the base of trees, shrubs, hedges and roses. The product can also be used on lawns to improve grass growth and colour. Calcium carbonate is also used in mushroom growing, often being added to the top-dressing applied to the spawn-run compost on which the mushrooms eventually form.

At Egypt Mineral Ores [E.M.O], we supply a number of carbonates for use as fertilisers so please get in touch with the team today for more information.
