327 IAC 6.1-6-3 Agricultural lime substitute application
Cite as Ind. Admin. Code tit. 327, r. 6.1-6-3
Sec. 3. Agricultural lime substitute must be evenly applied at rates based on the adjusted lime rate as determined by Equation 4 as follows:
Equation 4:
Adjusted Lime Rate = RALR × FF × NF × DF
Where: RALR = Recommended agricultural lime rate derived from the soil analysis
report for the application site.
FF = Fineness factor.
NF = Neutralizing factor.
DF = Depth factor.
