I think pelletized lime is a little less potent than ag lime due to the magnesium in it. But I don't think it's enough to alter the recommendation. If my soil test called for 1 ton, I'd try to add 1 ton. Please note that pelletized lime takes longer to work than ag lime. They are similar in strength, ag lime just works faster. That may give some folks the impression that ag lime is more potent.
