Quick Lime CL90Q | 25kg

Quick Lime is one of the most effective and time tested soil amendments available to farmers who are dealing with acidic soil conditions. Manufactured in Spain by Pachs, a trusted name in lime production, this high purity calcium oxide product has been used by farmers around the world for generations to transform poor performing acidic soils into healthy, fertile growing environments.

Many Nigerian farmers struggle with low yields and stunted crop growth without realizing that soil acidity is often the root cause. When soil becomes too acidic, plants cannot properly absorb essential nutrients like phosphorus, calcium and magnesium even if these nutrients are present in the soil. Quick Lime solves this problem directly by raising soil pH to a level where nutrients become available to your crops again.

How Quick Lime works:

Quick Lime, also known as calcium oxide, is produced by heating limestone at extremely high temperatures in a process called calcination. The result is a highly reactive material that, once applied to soil, neutralizes excess acidity and creates a more balanced pH environment where plant roots can thrive and absorb nutrients efficiently.

Key benefits of Quick Lime for farmers:

• Neutralizes acidic soil and raises soil pH to optimal levels for crop growth
• Improves soil structure making it easier for roots to penetrate and grow
• Enhances availability of essential nutrients including phosphorus and calcium
• Increases overall soil fertility and long term productivity
• Supports healthier root development and stronger plant growth
• Helps improve crop yields season after season
• Suitable for a wide range of crops and soil types
• High purity calcium oxide for reliable and consistent results
  How to use:

Apply Quick Lime evenly across the soil surface before planting and incorporate into the topsoil through tilling or ploughing. The exact application rate depends on your soil’s current pH level and should ideally be determined through a soil test. Always allow time between application and planting to let the lime react fully with the soil.

Important safety precautions:

Quick Lime is a caustic and highly reactive material. Always wear protective equipment including gloves, goggles and a dust mask when handling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Store in a dry place away from moisture as Quick Lime reacts strongly with water. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
