| The Boron Solution For Apple
Crops |
| LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
| Boron deficiencies
occur on a wide variety of soils, however boron availability
reduces as pH increases. Pome fruit are sensitive to boron
deficiency especially when high levels of nitrogen are
applied or trees become moisture stressed. Like zinc,
boron is also essential for flowering and fruit set, and
deficiencies cause misshapen fruit. Boron is required
for calcium uptake and movement, and calcium deficiencies
(bitter pit) can be significantly reduced by boron application.
Boron plays a similar role to calcium in plant nutrition,
which makes it essential for quality factors such as skin
strength, fruit firmness and storage life of apples. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of boron
- rapid leaf & fruit uptake & plant utilization
- chelated boron ensures no burning or marking
- boron improves calcium uptake & movement
- better fruit firmness and storage life
- improves flowering & fruit set
- superior binding properties allows early application
- reduced incidence of bitter pit & better fruit quality
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
|
| APPLICATION |
| Pome fruit - Apply
2.5 L/ha prior to flowering with LIG-ZINC + Mn and repeat
post harvest. For application after petal fall see LIG-CALCIUM
+ BORON. |

| The Calcium Solution For
Apple Crops |
| LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
| Pome fruit are particularly
sensitive to calcium deficiency, especially those grown
during the summer months on flood irrigation. Bitter pit
in apples usually occurs in the later and hotter months
of the season and in most cases is caused by a combination
of moisture stress and rapid shoot growth. In many cases
bitter pit is not evident until after harvest when fruit
respiration is high and further ripening occurs. Other
symptoms of calcium deficiency may include reduced skin
firmness and poor storage life of apples. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of calcium & boron
- rapid leaf & fruit uptake & plant utilization
- chelated boron ensures no burning or marking
- inclusion of boron improves calcium uptake & movement
- better fruit firmness and storage life
- superior binding properties
- reduced incidence of bitter pit & better fruit colour & quality
- contains no chloride & low levels of nitrogen
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
|
| APPLICATION |
| Apples and pears- 4-8
sprays @ 5 L/Ha or 20-40 L/season commencing at first
post blossom cover spray and repeated every 14 days. The
number of sprays will depend upon variety and seasonal
conditions. |

| The Magnesium Solution For
Apple Crops |
| LIG-MAGNESIUM |
| Magnesium is essential
for photosynthesis, sugar production, skin colour and
drought tolerance in pome fruit. Magnesium deficiency
is most common on sandy soils and its uptake is reduced
by high levels of soil ammonium, calcium and potassium.
Deficiency symptoms appear first in the older leaves as
a bright yellow chlorosis beginning at the top of the
leaf and often in a 'V' shape. Spray seed or herbicide
damage is often mistaken for magnesium deficiency. Magnesium
like potassium is also quickly absorbed and translocated
by the leaves and therefore foliar application is very
effective for correcting deficiencies. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-MAGNESIUM |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid uptake & plant utilization
- better skin colour
- maximizes photosynthesis & sugar production
- improves quality & yield of pome fruit
- small particle size & binder improves canopy penetration
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Pome fruit - apply
5 L/ha prior to flowering with LIG-ZINC + Mn and repeat
after petal fall. |

| The Zinc Solution For Apple
Crops |
| LIG-ZINC+ MANGANESE |
| Zinc deficiency is
most severe in pome fruit grown on alkaline soils, however
deficiencies on acid soils are also common in the Goulburn/Murray
Valley of Victoria, especially where lime is applied on
a regular basis. Zinc is most important in the early stages
of plant development for photosynthesis, root and shoot
growth, flowering and fruit set. Deficiency symptoms are
normally associated with 'little leaf disease' and poor
fruit set and yields. Application of zinc prior to flowering
is recommended, however post harvest sprays of zinc and
boron will assist flowering for the following season.
|
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf or soil
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning or marking
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves fruit set & yields
- compatible with LIG-IRON & fungicides & insecticides
- low cost Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Pome fruit - prior
to flowering apply 2 L/ha LIG-ZINC + Mn and repeat post
harvest. Further sprays can be applied after petal fall
if deficiencies persist @ 2 L/ha. |
