UK's No.1 Liming products for correction of soil acidity
LimeX products, developed by British Sugar, are the ultimate performers in the management of soil acidity.
They are ideal for maintaining target pH in arable and grassland rotations and the restoration of brownfield sites. Continually developed over more than 70 years the LimeX range has become the most successful product of its type, achieving market leadership in the UK through its all-round combination of efficacy, consistent quality and value-for-money.
Achieving this status has been the result of a drive to produce the best. Within the last decade British Sugar has invested over £15 million in product development and has extended the availability of LimeX across the country.
‘As National LimeX Manager, I am committed to raising the awareness of the importance of liming in modern agricultural practise, which I believe is frequently overlooked in the drive for increased productivity. Our continued high investment across the business has proved highly successful in ensuring that LimeX is the best product available to meet customers’ requirements.’

The British Survey of Fertiliser Practice* suggests that the steady decline in agricultural land area receiving lime in Britain appears to be reversing. However, the survey also concludes that this area is still considerably less than that calculated to require liming.
In addition, it states the principle causes of acidification have not lessened, and it is reasonable to believe that significant areas of arable land, and more particularly grassland, are at a pH level which could limit productivity.
