Yes, dolomitic lime treats calcium and magnesium deficient soils. But first do a soil test to find out the exact pH. The pH determines the application rate of your treatment. Then follow the container's instructions exactly.

What is the first minerals tends to form by Bowen's Series?

Bowens' Reaction Series measures the melting points of various silicate minerals, with the ones with highest melting points at the top. So as a completely moltenmagma containing all these minerals cools down, the first to crystallise are:ABOUT 1400 CELSIUSOlivinePyroxene (e.g. augite)Amphibole (e.g. hornblende)Biotite micaOrthoclase feldsparMuscovite micaSilica (e.g. quartz).ABOUT 800 CELSIUSNotice I've deliberately left out plagioclase feldspar because plagioclases of different composition crystallise out at different temperatures. Calcium-rich plagioclase crystallises out at about the same temperature as olivine (mineral 1), but sodium-rich plagioclase crystallises out about the same temperature as biotite mica (mineral 4). All plagioclase crystallises out at a higher temperature than orthoclase (mineral 5).So in answer to your question the first minerals to form as a magma cools are olivine and calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar, at around 1400 Celsius.
