The determination of the ENP of various liming materials has economic implications for the grower. With this measurement, it's now possible to compare various liming materials on a cost basis. The recent implementation of the Minnesota Lime Law is a major step forward. Although new terminology is introduced in making liming recommendations, it should not be confusing. This law does provide a standardized system for calculating costs.
Growers now have a basis for computing costs of a wide variety of liming materials.
This ability to calculate costs and choose liming materials based on costs should improve the profitability of Minnesota growers who need lime for crop production.
