Dolomite Lime

Dolomite lime contains Carbonates of Calcium and Magnesium to increase the pH levels of your potting mixes for better nutrient uptake. 

Benefits

Plant Health

Dolomite lime provides the element Calcium essential to maintain plant cell functions. Provides Magnesium essential for chlorophyll production. Stimulates microbacterial activity in the soil to aid plant nutrient availability. It also helps to ensure the breakdown of organic matter and increases the availability of nitrogen to plants.

Soil Improver

Neutralises e soil acidity caused by frequent application of ammonia and nitrogen based fertilizers. Restores the critical soil balance by normal cropping thus conditioning the soil for more nutrients to be absorbed by the plants

Correct Plant Deficiency

Correct the symptoms of Magnesium deficiency in plants
