GBR BGS Agricultural lime, areas of potential benefit
The addition of lime can improve soil conditions for the growth of forage for ruminate animals by providing optimal pH conditions. Also, alongside the reduction of soil acidity, the application of magnesium-rich agricultural lime products can help to ensure pasture forage contains sufficient magnesium to avoid hypomagnesaemia in livestock.
This is a regional level dataset designed for rapid desk based assessments and should not be used as a substitute for local level ground investigations.
