Agricultural Lime
Aglime Soil Conditioner
Tamax Ventures provides high-performance agricultural lime (Aglime) across West Africa, formulated from a blend of Carmeuse limestone, dolomite, and hydrated lime to optimize commercial soil pH and crop yields.
High-performance, finely ground agricultural soil conditioner.
1. Product Description
Our Carmeuse Agricultural Lime is a high-performance, finely ground agricultural soil conditioner. It comprises a highly structured, synergistic blend of Limestone, Dolomite, and Hydrated Lime.
Key Applications
Soil Acidity Correction (Liming)
Rapidly increases soil pH to reduce toxic aluminium and iron availability, optimizing fertilizer efficiency and crop yield.
Nutritional Intake
Delivers dense, highly plant-available Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) minerals necessary for root and cell development.
Soil Structure Improvement
Enhances clay soil flocculation, porosity, aeration, and water infiltration.
Safety Warning
Handling Precautions: Agricultural lime is an alkaline, mildly corrosive mineral. Ensure handlers wear protective dust masks, safety goggles, and sturdy gloves.
Packing & Storage
Packaging Options:
- Supplied in durable 25kg moisture-proof multi-walled bags.
- 1-ton bulk builder bags.
Storage Guidelines:
Keep sacks away from direct moisture, wet soils, and high humidity to prevent caking. Product bags must be sheltered from direct, intensive sun exposure (UV rays), which can degrade woven packaging materials over time.
