How does the Tri-State (Indiana, Ohio, Michigan) calculator determine my lime needs?

Overview:

The Tri-State calculator can be used to help create lime recommendations.

Answer:

The Tri-State calculator utilizes the following equations:

Lime	Criteria	Equation
	If OM > 20 & pH < 5.0	Typical Lime Rec = (32.9 - (6.31 * pH)) * 2000
	If CEC <= 7 and OM <= 20 and pH <= 5.9	Typical Lime Rec = 4000
	If CEC <= 7 and OM <= 20 and pH > 5.9 and pH <= 6.2	Typical Lime Rec = 2000
	If CEC > 7 and OM <= 20 and pH <=6.2	Typical Lime Rec = (60.4 - 0.87 * (Buffer pH * 10)) * 2000
