How much lime per acre in Georgia?

Georgia's land-grant extension doesn't use a one-size-fits-all number — it uses a published method. UGA retired Adams-Evans; uses direct Ca(OH)2 titration → LBCEq per Circular 874 (2025). Enter your soil-test values in the free calculator and Zone Forge returns tons of CaCO₃-equivalent per acre, ECCE-adjusted, with the citation.

Frequently asked

How much lime per acre does Georgia recommend?

It depends on your soil's buffer/acidity reading and your target pH — Georgia publishes a method, not a single number. UGA retired Adams-Evans; uses direct Ca(OH)2 titration → LBCEq per Circular 874 (2025). Enter your values in the free Zone Forge lime calculator for tons of CaCO3-equivalent per acre, with the citation.
