BENEFITS OF Lime Powder for soil treatment treatment
Lime has many types, but commonly used in the care of plants is the type of lime plant soil treatment, also known as agricultural lime. Let's find out the effects of lime powder for soil treatment on the growth and development of plants.

In acidic soils such as Long An, Binh Chanh, Cu Chi ... without appropriate soil treatment and improvement measures, it is very difficult to cultivate and cultivate. With the process of improving alum soil with irrigation measures combined with the use of agricultural lime: dig ditches up to the leaves, then use agricultural lime to spread evenly over the garden soil surface to help reduce alum (using dosage 150-200 kg of lime per 1,000m2 of land), thanks to rainwater that wash away alum from the soil, after 1-2 rainy seasons, the alum soil will be improved and trees and crops can be planted.
2. Lime has antiseptic and fungus control effect for plants
At the beginning of the rainy season, people often apply powdered lime with a dose of 100-120 kg of lime per 1,000m2 of garden land to prevent insects and fungi on hidden crops in the soil, sprinkle lime around the base of the tree or sweep lime water. stump.

Need to fertilize lime before planting trees or fertilize every year to add calcium to the soil. Help detoxify, increase resistance to adverse conditions such as hot weather, alum, salinity increases soil pH.
Thereby helping the root system to develop and absorb other fertilizers better while saving fertilizer.
If using manure or inorganic fertilizer after liming, the leaves will be faster and greener. When facing adverse conditions such as prolonged rain, causing waterlogging, the plant becomes yellowed due to the affected root system, to overcome the problem, first of all, sprinkle lime around the base of the tree to protect the roots and disinfect the soil, then a few new days to fertilize surper phosphate and manure, plants will quickly recover.
