Ag Liming

Five Outstanding Reasons Why Oyster Shell Calcium Gives Superior Ag Liming Results:

1. High calcium carbonate analysis
    Guaranteed minimum calcium carbonate 96%
    Guaranteed minimum calcium 36% (typically 38% - 39%)
    Moisture content less than 1% (average .2%)
2. Sized specifically to cause a timed release of calcium
    1/3 fine particles to produce a rapid pH change (-325 - 200 mesh)
    1/3 medium particles to replace calcium as it is leached out or taken up by the plant or turf during
    the growing season (100 to 60 mesh)
    1/3 coarse partices to provide a long-term source of calcium (40 to 20 mesh)
    Approximately 55 lbs. per Cu. Ft.
3. Particle shape and texture
    Oyster shell calcium is formed in thin, delicate layers that readily break down into flake-shaped particles.
    The porosity and irregular shape of the shell exposes an immense surface area that reacts with acids in the soil.
    The oyster shell particles anchor themselves in the soil and resist leaching.
4. Organic and available
    Oyster shell is produced by a living organism. Calcium formed in this non-crystalline state is more easily dissolved
    and utilized by the soil and plant.
5. Supplies additional plant growth requirements
    Ten other important organically produced nutrients and micronutrients are found in oyster shell.
