pH as a guide for liming? let me see...what contributes to a higher pH if you want one? magnesium raises soil pH 1.6 times more than calcium, potassium 2x more, and sodium, 4x more. how your pH is constructed is the issue. as you can see, you can have a high pH soil but still lack calcium because the soil has high magnesium, K, and/or sodium. in the end, the need for calcium should be dictated by the nutritional requirement of the crop, even as we recognize that, in the practice so-called soil-mineral balancing, the calcium:magnesium ratio is a concern, not for nutrition, but for how tight or loose you want your soil - the higher the magnesium, the tighter the soil. you can trial that in small plots...i suggest you look for the video of "Bryan McLeod soil understanding the construction of pH". this is not to belittle the value of this video (the discussion here may be appropriate for the local conditions they face) but to offer an alternative viewpoint...blessings to all
