[QUOTE="cowboysupper, post: 7105425, member: 711"] We got some VR maps back this week for lime applications this autumn prior to drilling hybrid rye. A couple of fields missed getting lime last autumn due to poor weather conditions and as a result have an increased requirement this year. We've a few fields where sections require 3.5t/acre - 4t/acre. Are there any risks associated with applying this amount of lime in a single application? Normally we don't need to apply any more than 3t/acre and that was always what we had understood to be what is recommended as the max rate by the book.... ALA website suggests a split application on arable land for more than 3t/acre, before and after cultivating, but that is unlikely to be practical in our circumstances. We could potentially apply at the max rate suggested and grub it into the soil prior to plough. We would prefer to crack on and get it done but if there are potentially any risks we would like to find out! [/QUOTE]
