GreenMan Antacid-AG
pH-Neutralizer for Acidic Soil
ACID SOILS
- Soils that have a pH value of less than 5.5 for most of the year
- The optimum pH range for most plants is between 5.5 and 7.5
- Many factors contribute to soil acidity
- GreenMan introduces ANTACID-AG, an organic pH Neutraliser for acidic soils.

GreenMan introduces ANTACID-AG, an organic pH Neutraliser for acidic soils. A concentrated carbonaceous botanical extract, Antacid-AG is edible grade and poses no toxic effects both for plants and humans. Being a liquid, it penetrates the soil with ease and leaves no toxic or harmful residue. It is easy to use and stimulates plant growth.
Unlike conventional lime, this alternative from GreenMan does not cause a sludge, which is a major advantage.
