Granulated magnesium lime - effective pH regulation and photosynthesis support
Calcium and magnesium — soil pH and photosynthesis
The ideal solution for magnesium-deficient soils, maintaining the optimal calcium-to-magnesium ratio. It ensures a stable field pH over the long term. It supports photosynthesis by replenishing magnesium, the central component of chlorophyll.

Why choose Magnesium Lime?
Bluebird Magnesium Lime supplies two key elements that raise soil pH and are essential for plant life. Calcium builds cell walls, while magnesium is the central element of chlorophyll — without optimal magnesium availability, photosynthesis cannot run at full efficiency.
The fertilizer works in two ways: it deeply deacidifies the soil profile while supplying building material that directly supports plant development and nitrogen uptake.
Magnesium Lime supports the formation of a durable crumb structure. As a result, the soil stores water better, is more resistant to erosion and uses nutrients more efficiently.
- Dual action: pH + magnesium
- Supports photosynthesis and nitrogen uptake
- Builds the soil's crumb structure
- Containing micronutrients

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about this product. Match rate and timing to the soil test, crop and current product label.
Why is magnesium combined with calcium in agricultural lime?
Combining magnesium with calcium allows one lime application to correct acidity while supplying magnesium where the soil is deficient. Bluebird Magnesium Lime lists 60% CaCO₃ and 30% MgCO₃; whether that combination is appropriate should be confirmed by a soil test.
How does Magnesium Lime help detoxify acidic soil?
Magnesium Lime raises soil pH and supplies magnesium, which can help address conditions associated with acidic soil. The product is described as supporting soil detoxification, but the degree of change depends on acidity, soil buffering capacity, moisture and the applied rate.
How does magnesium support chlorophyll production and photosynthesis?
Magnesium is the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule, so adequate magnesium supports chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis. Magnesium Lime supplies MgCO₃ alongside calcium; it is useful where a test indicates a magnesium need, not as a substitute for testing.
How does applying Magnesium Lime improve plant nitrogen uptake?
By correcting acidity and supplying magnesium, Magnesium Lime can support conditions for plant development and nitrogen uptake. Bluebird describes this function for the product, but actual nitrogen response depends on pH, magnesium status, crop demand and the complete fertilization plan.
Can Magnesium Lime be applied before winter to strengthen root systems?
The Bluebird application information lists Magnesium Lime for strengthening the root system before winter. Apply it only where the soil and crop need the product, and use the current label for timing and rate rather than treating the statement as a guarantee.
