South Carolina's land-grant extension publishes a method — not a one-size-fits-all rate. Clemson uses Moore-Sikora buffer (calibration equivalent to classical Adams-Evans). Live calculator uses this state's published method and citation. 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 the inputs South Carolina's land-grant method publishes — not a single national number. Clemson uses Moore-Sikora buffer (calibration equivalent to classical Adams-Evans). Enter your values in the free Zone Forge lime calculator for tons of CaCO3-equivalent per acre, with the citation.
