      ECCE = effective calcium carbonate equivalence, the standard measurement for determining the quality of liming products. This value is determine in laboratories by measuring the neutralization capacity of a highly ground sample, plus also the particle size distribution of the liming product as it was received from the vendor. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service limestone recommendations are always made based on a 100 ECCE quality limestone.
