Under existing law, agricultural liming material sold in this state is required to be labeled with certain specified information including the minimum calcium carbonate equivalent.
The label is not required to contain information on the relative neutralizing value of the liming material.
This bill would define relative neutralizing value as a value based on the calculation of the calcium carbonate equivalent in relation to percent of lime passing through mesh screens and would require agricultural lime to be labeled with the relative neutralizing value of the lime.
