Agricultural use of limestone products

The fertility of a soil is directly proportional to its lime content. Most field and garden plants need lime as nutrition as well as an absorbent of other nutrients. In the Nordic region the soil is naturally acidic, which makes lime indispensable for neutralizing in both agriculture and horticulture. Nordkalk products are pure natural products, which makes it possible to produce clean food in the fields and gardens. By improving plants' ability to absorb nutrients, Nordkalk products efficiently reduce the nutrient discharge into the water systems.

In addition to soil improvement, in agriculture Nordkalk products are used as raw material for animal feedstuffs, and crushed limestone is fed as such to the poultry. Lime contains calcium, which is an important structural element in the cell walls of the plants as well as in the bones of humans and animals. Quantitatively calcium is the most important element in the feeding of bovines and other domestic animals. Nordkalk fodder lime is made of the best and purest limestone.
