- Plant Development: The calcium found in agricultural limestone is important for plant protein development and root system nourishment. Agricultural limestone also allows for healthy cell wall development. It helps plants form better root systems, stems, and leaves, allowing for better absorption of water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, minerals and trace elements.
- Photosynthesis: The calcium in agricultural limestone allows for more efficient use of sunlight energy and maximum use of heat-degree days. Liming the soil helps create and maintain root and stem capacities for optimal use of thermal efficiency by the leaves and plant.
- Disease Suppression: Agricultural limestone helps create a healthy and normal functioning plant that can maintain an adequate hormone and enzyme system. This is vital to insect and disease resistance, such as blossom end rot of tomatoes, stone fruits, and the club root of cole crops.
- Insect Repellant: Agricultural limestone can be used as an insect repellant, without causing harm to the pest or plant.
