Convert a soil-test lime recommendation to product quantity using matching neutralizing-value specifications.
How this calculator works
Use a recent soil-test recommendation; pH difference alone cannot determine a lime dose. Product rate = laboratory rate × reference neutralizing value ÷ product neutralizing value. Both percentages must use the same basis: compare ECCE with ECCE or CCE with CCE, and check whether the recommendation already accounts for your product. CCE alone does not describe fineness or speed of action. If a report uses ENP in pounds per ton, or the basis is unclear, ask the laboratory to confirm compatible percentages before calculating. Bags round up for purchasing only; apply the calculated mass. Enter the product label or laboratory application limit to estimate equal splits; follow their interval and incorporation instructions. No application interval is invented. For conversion, 1 lb per 1,000 sq ft = approximately 0.48824 kg per 100 m².
Units and inputs
Use measured inputs and replace the demonstration values. 1 ft = 0.3048 m; 1 sq ft = 0.09290304 m²; 1 inch = 25.4 mm; 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 litres. All entered prices must use the same currency. Zero prices omit the optional budget.
