Resource Explained

This publication, produced by Ohio State University, helps farmers evaluate and compare liming products to correct soil pH cost-effectively. It explains why soil pH drops, how lime recommendations are determined, and how Effective Neutralizing Power (ENP) is used to assess product value. Seven sample lime labels are analyzed with step-by-step calculations comparing cost per pound of ENP and total per-acre application costs.
