| The Boron Solution for Avocados |
| LIGNO- BORON |
| Boron deficiencies
occur on a wide variety of soils, however boron availability
reduces as pH and calcium levels increase. Avocados are
very sensitive to boron deficiency especially when high
levels of nitrogen are applied or trees become moisture
stressed. Boron is essential for flowering and fruit set,
and deficiencies cause flower and fruit drop as well as
misshapen fruit. Using beehives will also enhance flowering
and fruit set and the effectiveness of boron sprays. Boron
is required for calcium uptake and movement, and calcium
deficiencies can be significantly reduced by boron application.
Boron plays a similar role to calcium in cell wall stabilization,
which makes it essential for quality factors such as skin
strength, fruit firmness and storage life of avocados. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIGNO + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of boron
- rapid leaf & fruit uptake & plant utilization
- chelated boron is safe on flowers and will not mark fruit
- boron improves calcium uptake & movement
- better fruit firmness and storage life
- improves flowering, fruit set & yields
- small particle size & binding properties assist leaf and
fruit penetration
- better fruit quality
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
|
| APPLICATION |
| Avocados - 3 weeks
prior to flowering apply 5 L/ha LIGNO-BORON. From the
start of flowering to fruit set apply 2 sprays @ 5 L/ha.
From fruit set through to harvest apply 2.5 L/ha every
3 weeks with LIG-CALCIUM + BORON @ 5 L/ha. |

| The Calcium Solution For
Avocados |
| LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
| Calcium deficiency
is a widespread problem in avocado crops and significantly
reduces fruit quality. Moisture stress is the major cause
of calcium deficiency as it interrupts the root uptake
of calcium and leads to localized deficiencies in fruit.
Boron is required for the maintenance of transpiration
(water uptake) and therefore also calcium uptake, and
because of this fact, calcium sprays without boron are
often useless. Over use of nitrogen fertilizers and excessive
plant vigour late in the season also compound calcium
deficiencies. Calcium deficiencies are common in both
acid and alkaline soils even when exchangeable soil calcium
levels are high. This is largely due to the low mobility
of soil calcium and competition with other nutrients such
as ammonium nitrogen, potassium and magnesium. |
| 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 & fruit set
- better fruit firmness and storage life
- superior binding properties & canopy penetration
- improves for quality
- contains no chloride & low levels of nitrogen
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
|
| APPLICATION |
| Avocados - apply 5
L/ha every 3 weeks from fruit set through to harvest.

| The Magnesium Solution For
Avocado |
| LIG-MAGNESIUM |
| Magnesium is essential
for photosynthesis, sugar production and skin colour in
avocados. Magnesium deficiency is most common on acidic
and sandy soils and its uptake is reduced by high levels
of ammonium nitrogen, calcium and potassium in the soil.
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. 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 plant growth & sugar production
- improves quality & yield of avocados
- small particle size & binder improves canopy penetration
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Avocados - apply 5
L/ha 3 weeks prior to flowering and 2 sprays @ 5 L/ha
after fruit set. Repeat if necessary |

| The Potassium For Avocados |
| LIG-K + BORON |
| Potassium is an important
nutrient for fruit filling (size & weight) and quality.
Potassium is required for the production and transport
of plant sugars that increase the weight of fruit, while
also offsetting the detrimental effects of high plant
nitrogen levels on fruit quality. The highest demand for
potassium is from fruit set to harvest, however it is
also important for flowering. Potassium also promotes
more even ripening and enhances skin colour. Because potassium
is very mobile within the plant, foliar application of
potassium is very effective, especially in the later stages
of growth. Soil uptake of potassium is inefficient and
therefore deficiencies often occur in soils high in potash
and especially if calcium, magnesium and nitrogen levels
are also high. Deficiency symptoms appear in the older
leaves that may be a light green colour and have necrosis
of the entire leaf margin. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-K + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of potassium through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & translocation to developing fruit
- chelated boron improves calcium uptake and sugar transport to
fruit
- increases sugar levels, fruit size & weight
- promotes more even ripening
- small particle size & binder enhances canopy penetration
- improves yields & quality
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Avocados - apply 2-4
sprays @ 5 L/ha between fruit set and harvest. |

| The Zinc Solution For Avocados |
| LIG-ZINC+ MANGANESE |
| Zinc deficiency is
most severe in avocados grown on alkaline soils, however
deficiencies on acid soils are also common in Queensland,
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
on older trees as zinc can damage avocado flowers and
reduce yields |
| 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 |
| Avocados - 3 weeks
prior to flowering apply 4 L/ha with LIGNO-BORON @ 5 L/ha.
On trees 3 year old or younger apply 4 L/ha during flowering.
After fruit set apply 4 L/ha and repeat if deficiency
symptoms are evident. |
