Benefits of Agricultural Lime
Lime offers many indirect benefits, by changing physical and biological properties of soil. Dolomitic lime is used as a soil input to enhance the effects of agricultural lime, while supplying magnesium in addition to calcium. In a crop environment of PH 6.8 or less, farmers may risk inadequate weed pest control. Even at a soil pH of 6 which is satisfactory for crops like maize, the activity of some herbicides is half that of a well limed soil. |

Serving Agriculture
Meyerton Dolomite
PBD established the Meyerton-Dolomite operation in 1995 to distribute dolomitic agricultural lime from the Glen Douglas mine into Gauteng, the Free-State and parts of the North-West.
The dolomite is obtained as part of the process to produce aggregate that is mined, crushed and washed. The sludge from the washing process is collected which is the agricultural dolomite. In order to obtain the final product, the sludge is dried, crushed and screened to the required size.
In order to provide a comprehensive service to the agricultural community, Meyerton-Dolomite also established distribution agreements with the following lime sources:
- Chloorkop Gypsum
- Panfontein Calcite
- Meyerton Dolomite
- Mooiplaas Dolomite
- Olifantsfontein Dolomite
- Danielskuil Calcite
- Witbank Hiqua Calcite
- Ulco Calcite
- Potchefstroom Gypsum
- Rustenburg Gypsum
Our efficient service ensures that you receive you lime on time every time. |
