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.

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.

Zone Forge computes every Georgia recommendation from that state's own published land-grant method — lime, soil-test fertilizer, and full variable-rate prescriptions. See the science →
