Its use extends to various areas such as industry, chemistry, metallurgy, cosmetics, construction, etc. However, we are only interested in its utility in gardening and agriculture.

Slaked lime is used to improve the characteristics of agricultural soil or for orchards as it improves the acidity, porosity and biological activity of the soil. Being calcium hydroxide, it can also be used as a fertilizer for certain plants as it provides the calcium necessary for growth. It is also used to obtain compost from agricultural waste (pruning remains, etc.), agro-industrial and urban. As mentioned before, it also helps as a biocide. That is, it helps to counteract insect pests by exerting control over them.
