| The Calcium Solution For
Carrot Crops |
| LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
| Calcium and boron are
critical nutrients for carrot quality and a deficiency
of these nutrients causes splitting in carrots and poor
skin quality. Water management is critical in calcium
nutrition as the most common cause of calcium deficiency
is moisture stress. High plant nitrogen levels also promote
the problem. When a plant is under moisture stress, calcium
uptake is reduced and water movement and calcium transport
to tubers is also restricted. Calcium and boron deficiency
also weaken cell walls and make tubers more susceptible
to disease. The very low plant mobility of calcium and
its preference for new shoots means that tissue analysis
is usually a poor indicator of tuber calcium status. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of calcium & boron
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated boron ensures no burning
- inclusion of boron improves calcium uptake & movement
- superior binding properties
- reduced incidence of split carrots & better skin quality
- increased firmness and storage life of carrots
- contains no chloride & low levels of nitrogen
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
|
| APPLICATION |
| Carrots - 2-3 sprays
@ 7.5 L/Ha commencing at mid growth and repeated at 2-3
week intervals. For high risk crops increase application
rate to 10 L/Ha. |

| The Magnesium Solution
For Carrots |
| LIG-MAGNESIUM |
| Magnesium deficiency
is common in carrot crops, as most are grown in heavily
leached sandy soils inherently low in magnesium. High
levels of ammonium nitrogen and potassium in the soil
also reduce magnesium uptake, as does moisture stress
and stop/start growing conditions. Because magnesium is
readily translocated from old to young leaves, deficiency
symptoms appear first on the older leaves, however the
high mobility of magnesium means that foliar application
is very effective for correcting deficiencies. Magnesium
is essential for photosynthesis and plant growth and in
conjunction with potassium, also increases the sugar content
and weight of carrots. Magnesium is also important for
colour and root development |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-MAGNESIUM |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid uptake & plant utilization
- encourages root growth
- maximizes photosynthesis & sugar production
- improves carrot colour, weight & yields
- excellent binding properties ideal for limited leaf area
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Carrots - apply 2-4
sprays @ 5 L/ha commencing when plants are 10 cm tall
and repeat every 3 weeks as required. |

| The Potassium Solution For
Carrots |
| LIG-K + BORON |
| Carrots have a small
root system that limits their ability to absorb sufficient
quantities of nutrients for optimal growth and quality.
LIG-K + BORON has a high availability through plant leaves
and can supplement soil potassium which may be leached
on sandy soils. To prevent carrots from splitting, it
is essential to keep potassium and boron levels high in
relation to nitrogen which is far more available in the
soil. Potassium is required for the filling of carrots
as it produces sugars and starch that increase carrot
weight and size. Boron increases the translocation of
sugars, calcium uptake and movement, and improves the
skin strength and disease resistance of carrots. Balanced
nutrition is the key to improving quality without compromising
yield, and both potassium and boron are extremely important
nutrients in this respect. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-K + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of potassium through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & translocation to developing carrots
- chelated boron is very safe
- fills carrots & increases yields
- enhances skin colour
- binds to leaves & is effective with minimal leaf area
- improves skin strength & carrot quality
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Carrots - 3 sprays
@ 10 L/Ha. First application at mid growth stage and repeat
every 2-3 weeks |

| The Trace Element Solution
For Carrots |
| LIG-BALANCE |
| Maintaining adequate
levels of all essential nutrients is important because
healthy plants have a greater disease tolerance and cope
much better with adverse growing conditions that can significantly
reduce yield and quality. Hidden trace element deficiencies
(no visual symptoms) can reduce yields by 50%. The broad
range of elements in LIG-BALANCE is good insurance against
hidden deficiencies. Deficiencies can often be induced
by: the correction of one or more deficient nutrients;
increases in plant available nitrogen; rapid shoot growth;
and optimum levels of major (N, P, K) and secondary (S,
Mg) nutrients |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-BALANCE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid uptake & plant utilization
- supplies essential trace elements plus sulphur & magnesium
- maximizes photosynthesis & plant growth
- improves carrot quality & yield
- binding properties allows early & effective application
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Carrots - 2-4 sprays
@ 2 L/Ha commencing when plants are 10 cm tall. To further
improve early growth include Vigor-Lig Plus @ 2 L/Ha. |

| The Zinc Solution For Carrot
Crops |
| LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
|
| Zinc is the most limiting
trace element in Australian agriculture and deficiencies
are common on alkaline and sandy soils. Zinc is essential
for tuber set, so therefore early application is important.
Low zinc at tuber initiation causes uneven tuber set (multiple
sets of tubers) and a reduction in the number of carrots.
Because zinc needs to be applied early and carrots have
limited leaf area, it is important that the zinc spray
being used is able to bind to leaves and remains available
to the plant if it comes in contact with the soil. Zinc
is also required for photosynthesis and root and shoot
growth. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf or soil
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- binder allows early application with minimal leaf area
- more even carrot size
- increases yields
- compatible with LIG-IRON & fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Carrots - 2 L/Ha 2-3
weeks after emergence and 4 L/Ha two weeks later. |
