The University of Vermont soil test report determines lime application rates based on reactive aluminum (Al). Use the table below to determine your lime application (tons/acre):
Soil pH | Reactive AL (ppm) | Tons/acre (Target pH = 6.5) |
---|---|---|
>6.7 | 0 | 0 |
6.2 – 6.7 | 0-40 | 0.5 |
>40 | 1.0 | |
5.6 – 6.1 | 0-40 | 1.5 |
41-70 | 2.0 | |
71-100 | 2.25 | |
101-150 | 2.75 | |
151-200 | 3.25 | |
>200 | 4 | |
<5.6 | 0-40 | 2.25 |
41-70 | 2.75 | |
71-100 | 3.0 | |
101-150 | 3.5 | |
151-200 | 4 | |
201-250 | 4.5 | |
251-300 | 5 | |
