[Alpacasite] ag lime and parasite control

One of the joys of the PNW is rather acidic soil. Soil conditions here
require 250- 500 lbs lime per acre 2x per year, depending on which pasture I
am working. Tried finding some research on the subject, and didn't find
anything specific, but was curious about the effect of the lime at time of
application on parasite larvae and eggs? My first thought is it would assist
[key word is assist, not eliminate] in the control in the pasture, since I
know that it does seem to have that effect in a barn situation with fly
larvae.

Anyone know of any actual objective studies?
