Georgia's land-grant extension publishes a method — not a one-size-fits-all rate. UGA retired Adams-Evans; uses direct Ca(OH)2 titration → LBCEq per Circular 874 (2025). Live inputs: initial pH and LBC30 from a UGA-style Ca(OH)2 titration report — not a generic buffer-pH crosswalk. Enter the required soil-test values in the free calculator for tons of CaCO₃-equivalent per acre, ECCE-adjusted, with the citation.

It depends on your soil's initial pH and LBC30 (lime buffer capacity) from UGA's Ca(OH)2 titration — Georgia retired Adams-Evans for Equilibrium Lime Buffer Capacity (LBCEq). UGA retired Adams-Evans; uses direct Ca(OH)2 titration → LBCEq per Circular 874 (2025). Enter those values in the free Zone Forge lime calculator for tons of CaCO3-equivalent per acre, with the citation.
UGA AESL uses direct Ca(OH)2 titration: LBC30 converts to LBCEq, then to a lime rate for the crop's published target pH. UGA retired Adams-Evans; uses direct Ca(OH)2 titration → LBCEq per Circular 874 (2025). Source: University of Georgia — Equilibrium Lime Buffer Capacity (LBCEq).
Zone Forge computes Georgia lime from that state's published land-grant method (initial water pH and lab-reported LBC30 (→ LBCEq per Circular 874)) — lime calculator, soil-test fertilizer, and full variable-rate prescriptions. See the science →
