Make smarter liming decisions backed by decades of WA research. iLime is a decision-support tool designed in collaboration with farmers and consultants to estimate the long-term impact of lime application on soil pH, crop yield, and profitability.

Developed through ongoing cycles of feedback and refinement, iLime empowers users to explore different liming strategies—tailored to their soil, crop, fertiliser, and lime characteristics—and view their effects over a 20-year horizon. iLime is based on the Optlime spreadsheet model, originally created during the 'Time to Lime' program (1996–2001) using field-tested principles of soil acidity.
