AI Summary

  • Defines "relative neutralizing value" (RNV) as a calculation using calcium carbonate equivalent and fineness to represent the effectiveness of agricultural liming materials.

  • Requires agricultural liming materials sold or imported into Alabama to be labeled with the RNV determined by the formula: RNV=CCE x [(0.5 x A) + (1 x B)], where A is the percent of lime passing through a 10-mesh screen but not a 60-mesh screen, and B is the percent passing through a 60-mesh screen.
