Technical Insight:

Why June is Still a Great Time for Lime Applications When it comes to lime application, many farmers focus on the spring window. However, June can still be one of the most effective times to spread lime, particularly on grassland farms.

Following first cut silage and early grazing rotations, fields are often more accessible and easier to travel on, creating ideal lime spreading conditions. Warmer soil temperatures also help lime react more efficiently, allowing pH levels to begin correcting sooner and improving overall nutrient availability within the soil.

Applying lime during June can help maximise the value of fertiliser and slurry already being applied across the farm. Where soil pH is low, valuable nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium become less available to the plant. Correcting pH helps unlock these nutrients, supporting stronger grass growth and improved fertiliser efficiency throughout the season.

June applications can also benefit clover performance and help prepare swards for stronger late summer and autumn growth.

Key Benefits of June Lime Application: • Improves soil pH and nutrient availability • Helps maximise fertiliser efficiency • Supports stronger grass and clover growth • Ideal timing after first cut silage • Good ground conditions for spreading • Helps prepare fields for autumn performance

SP-600/ SP-900 Disc Spreader

While lime remains a valuable tool for improving soil health, timing alongside slurry and urea applications should still be carefully considered to maximise effectiveness.

Remember: • Avoid spreading lime directly before heavy slurry applications. leave a gap where possible.

• If using urea, try to leave at least 7–10 days between urea and lime application.

• Granulated or ground limestone both work well depending on your system and timing.

What's happening in the soil

Typical grass response

Week 1-2

Lime begins to correct soil pH

Little visible change

Week 3-4

Nutrients (N, P, K) become more available

Grass starts to green up

Month 2

Improved nutrient uptake and soil biology

Noticeable increase is growth and tillering

Month 3-6

Soil pH stabilises further

Stronger grass growth, thick sward and better response to slurry/ fertiliser
