LIMESTONE: PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF LIMESTONE WITH SOIL ANALYSIS! - Have you ever seen limestone applied in practice? In this video I show a real example of limestone application to regulate the soil! So come with me on this journey and understand the importance of applying limestone to farm soil and how to do this process in practice. Limestone is a rock of sedimentary origin, mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Due to the structure and / or existence of another compound, it can obtain different names, and during the metamorphic process it is called marble of the mineral products most used in the industry. Limestone is the main product used to correct soil acidity. Generally, its function is to reduce the amount of harmful elements and increase the calcium and magnesium content, making the soil more aerated, allowing greater water circulation and better root development, thus increasing the activity of microorganisms, resulting in higher yields with fertilization. Regardless of the size of the area, the benefits of applying crops and pastures begin with increased productivity, which is synonymous with higher income for landowners. In general, Brazilian soils, especially those in the Cerrado region, are acidic, poor in nutrients and contain excessive amounts of toxic aluminum. In order to transform these soils into a richer and more suitable environment to meet the region's production needs, liming has been a good choice in the market for some time. This method can reduce soil acidity through chemical elements (such as calcium and magnesium), thus providing greater productivity and nutrients for plants that will be planted in the future. Due to the function of correcting and adapting the soil, for farmers who work mainly in environments with limited planting area, the addition of limestone can guarantee other advantages. Liming is the process of applying lime to the soil to combat acidity and correct soil pH. Limestone also represents the basis for managing soil fertility and improving crop growth conditions: Low product cost; Correct soil acidity and provide calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg); It acts as a fertilizer; Stimulates the development of microorganisms; Eliminates the toxic effects of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) in acidic soils; Improves fertilization efficiency; Provides greater root growth, increases nutrient and water absorption; Greater resistance to summer and higher productivity; In addition to these benefits, it should be noted that the cost of liming represents about 5% of the total production cost. This cost is very low compared to the positive impact of restrictions on your property.
