Various mixtures of lime, limestone and dolomite are used in agriculture and forestry, both for correcting acidity in the soil and for adding nutrients which contain magnesium and calcium.

These nutrients are essential for healthy plant growth and for increasing crop yield.
In forestry, dolomite-based products stimulate photosynthesis and, by lowering the degree of acidity in the soil, ensure a better assimilation of nutrients, resulting in a significant increase in forest productivity.
