The British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) provides information on agricultural lime and fertiliser use on the major crops and grass grown in mainland Britain.

It is increasingly evident when studying analysis from both the BSFP and PAAG reports that both the period between agricultural lime applications, and the percentage of samples recorded below optimum for farming systems are both increasing. Taken together these reports should serve as a clear reminder that lack of attention to the application of the appropriate pH undermines the soil’s potential.

Agricultural Lime reports for England & Wales appear in Table EW 1.4, and for Scotland Table SC 1.4.
