Lime Application (Horticulture)

Rotor Work Ltd can supply and cart a number of different lime products to suit your needs. Helicopters are ideal for spreading high rates of lime onto rows, as the helicopter is able to fly lower and slower. It also has the added benefit that the rotor wash from the main rotor blades pushes the bulk of the lime downward into the ground. Because of this effect, it is a great way to apply lime.

Suspension Fertilisers (Agriculture)

Suspension fertiliser offers a great alternative to conventional fertiliser due to the fact that you take standard granulated fertiliser and grind it up into fine particles. This results in greater efficiency with reduced rates. Fine lime carted and applied at desired rates  Ultra fine lime at low application rates work by a theory called surface area volume ratio. Based on science and physics, as a lime particle gets bigger, it has most of its mass on the inside of the surface area, theref...

Lime Application (Agriculture)

Aviation lime and/or granulated lime can be carted and applied.  Helicopters are ideal for spreading lime when and where you want it, as the helicopter is able to fly lower and slower. It also has the added benefit that the rotor wash from the main rotor blades pushes the bulk of the lime downward into the ground. Because of this effect, it is a great way to apply lime to places that ground vehicles can’t access, without it missing the target area. What we can do for you! Apply Straight A...
