Agricultural lime, also called Aglime is an off-white pulverized limestone powder comprised mainly of calcium carbonate. Aglime is added to soil as a conditioner, providing a base to correct acidity, which can improve crop yield where soils are too acidic. It increases the pH level inherent in the soil, allowing plants to absorb more nutrients. Aglime is often applied to encourage improvements to not only chemical and biological attributes but also to assist with the management of soil structure. This occurs by increasing a soil’s water-holding capacity which in turn helps crops better tolerate drought or wet conditions.

Aglime is used throughout New South Wales for soil improvement on farms and has consistent demand and a favourable outlook in the increasing food security thematic.
