Hydrated Lime (Calcium Hydroxide – Ca(OH)₂) is a highly effective soil amendment widely used in gardening, agriculture, and horticulture to improve soil health and plant growth. It is produced by carefully processing high-quality limestone to create a fine, reactive powder that quickly works in soil.
At Pannai, we manufacture premium quality Hydrated Lime Powder designed for soil pH correction, nutrient availability improvement, and plant disease management. When applied in the correct dosage, hydrated lime helps neutralize acidic soils and creates an ideal environment for beneficial soil microorganisms.
Healthy soil is the foundation of productive plants. Many garden soils become acidic over time due to rainfall, fertilizer use, and organic matter decomposition. Hydrated lime works by raising the soil pH, which allows plants to absorb essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium more efficiently.
Our agricultural grade hydrated lime is finely powdered for easy soil mixing, making it suitable for home gardens, vegetable farms, flower gardens, nurseries, and organic farming systems.
Many soils naturally become acidic, which reduces plant growth. Hydrated lime neutralizes excess soil acidity, creating the optimal pH range for most crops and garden plants.
When soil pH becomes balanced, plants can absorb nutrients more effectively. Hydrated lime helps improve the uptake of:
Nitrogen
Phosphorus
Potassium
Magnesium
This results in stronger plants and higher productivity.
Hydrated lime improves soil aggregation and reduces soil compaction. This leads to:
Better root penetration
Improved aeration
Enhanced water infiltration
These factors are essential for healthy root development.
Soil microorganisms play a major role in nutrient cycling. Balanced soil pH created by hydrated lime encourages beneficial bacteria and microbes, improving soil fertility naturally.
Hydrated lime can help suppress certain soil-borne pathogens and fungal growth, especially in vegetable gardens and nursery beds.
When small amounts of hydrated lime are mixed with compost or manure, it helps regulate acidity and improves organic matter decomposition.
Hydrated lime is widely used in various gardening applications:
• Vegetable gardens
• Flower gardens
• Fruit plants
• Nursery beds
• Lawn maintenance
• Potting soil preparation
• Compost pH adjustment
Gardeners often apply hydrated lime before planting season to prepare the soil for better crop growth.
For Garden Soil
Spread hydrated lime evenly over the soil surface.
Mix thoroughly into the top 10–15 cm of soil.
Water lightly after application.
Typical Application Rate
Small garden beds: 100–200 grams per square meter
Acidic soils may require slightly higher application.
It is recommended to apply lime 2–3 weeks before planting for best results.
