| The Copper Solution For
Cereal Crops |
| LIG-COPPER |
| Copper deficiency is
common in alkaline soils, soils high in organic matter
and many of the acid sands found in Western Australia.
Copper is an essential nutrient for flowering in cereals,
and it is not uncommon to have a 50% reduction in grain
set in copper deficient plants. Copper is also required
for the lignification (strengthening) of cell walls. This
reduces lodging and also improves the disease resistance
of cereals. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-COPPER |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated copper will not burn leaves
- enhances disease resistance & prevents lodging
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves grain set & yields
- compatible with post emergent herbicides
- low cost Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Cereal Crops - 1 L/Ha
at five leaf stage or with post emergent sprays. |

| The Foliar Phosphorous Solution
For Cereal Crops |
| LIG-POLYPHOS |
| Crops grown in Australian
soils require significant quantities of phosphorous (P)
containing fertilizers for optimum growth and production.
In some soils, the availability of chemical phosphate
fertilizers is quite good, however in most soils the plant
availability is at best 30%. Much of Australia's cereal
crops are grown in alkaline soils, many of these are calcareous
(contain free lime). Calcareous soils typically range
from pH 7.0-8.4, and their phosphate retention is usually
in excess of 90% (see Figure 1). If you apply 50 kg P/ha
as phosphate on a calcareous soil, the crop will receive
less than 5 kg P during that growing season. Many calcareous
soils with a good fertilizer history have very high or
even excessive levels of phosphorous, yet crops are still
showing signs of deficiency or sub-optimal P levels. The
phosphorous problem is not one of supply, but of availability.
|
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-POLYPHOS |
|
- enhanced germination, root & shoot development
- essential for grain set & filling
- reduces lodging
- improves drought tolerance
- high plant availability
- quickly absorbed by leaves & rain-fast
- compatible with agri-chemicals
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Cereal Crops - apply
1-2 L/ha at 5 leaf stage . |

| The Foliar Zinc Solution
For Cereal Crops |
| LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
|
| Zinc deficiency is
most common on alkaline soils such as those found in the
Wimmera and Mallee areas of Victoria and most of South
Australia. However deficiencies are also common on many
of the leached acid sands in Western Australia. While
zinc has been included in base fertilizers for some years,
trial work has shown that its efficiency is usually limited
on alkaline soils due to zinc lock-up. Also the use of
sulphonylurea herbicides (eg. Ally, Glean) also reduce
zinc uptake and may induce zinc deficiency. Zinc is particularly
important in the very early stages of a plant’s life for
germination, root growth, photosynthesis and shoot development.
During fertilization, pollen grains require high levels
of zinc for the developing grain, therefore low zinc levels
at grain set significantly reduce yields. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves grain set & yields
- compatible with herbicides
- low cost Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
|
Cereal Crops - 1-2 L/Ha at five leaf stage or with
post emergent herbicides.

| The Manganese Solution For
Cereal Crops |
| LIG-MANGANESE |
| Manganese deficiency
occurs in alkaline soils, most of which are found in South
Australia and the Esperance area of Western Australia.
The Yorke Peninsula in SA is known to have the most severe
manganese deficiencies in the world, and crops usually
die without some form of manganese application. Manganese
performs similar functions to zinc in that it is involved
in photosynthesis and has a significant effect on grain
set because of its importance for carbohydrate production
and seed filling. Manganese also plays an essential role
in disease resistance and seed coating of grain effectively
prevents take-all in cereals. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated manganese is user friendly
- enhances photosynthesis & the prevention of take-all
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves grain set & yields
- compatible with post emergents
- low cost Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Cereal Crops - 1 L/Ha
at five leaf stage or with post emergent herbicides. |
