The Iron Solution For Citrus Crops
LIG-IRON
Iron deficiency is common on alkaline soils, especially those with limestone near the surface, and this is why it is often called 'lime induced chlorosis'. Waterlogging and heavy rainfall also tend to induce iron deficiency on alkaline soils. When addressing iron deficiency problems on alkaline soils it is of paramount importance that chelated iron is used, as non-chelated forms (eg. iron sulphate) are ineffective because they quickly become locked-up and unavailable for plant use. Photosynthesis, shoot growth and root development are significantly reduced in iron deficient plants.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-IRON
 
- high plant availability through leaf or dripper
- rapid leaf uptake & utilization
- chelated iron is very safe
- enhances photosynthesis and shoot growth
- compatible with LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
- superior binding properties improves canopy penetration
- compatible with  fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
APPLICATION
Citrus - 2 sprays @ 5 L/Ha (foliar or drip) in the Spring and Autumn flushes and repeat four weeks later.

The Magnesium Solution For Citrus Crops
LIG-MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is essential for photosynthesis and sugar production in citrus and also skin colour and drought tolerance. Magnesium deficiency is most common on sandy soils and its uptake is reduced by high levels of soil ammonium, calcium and potassium. 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 citrus quality & yield
- small particle size & binder improves canopy penetration
- compatible with  fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION
Citrus - 1-2 sprays @ 5 L/Ha during Spring and Autumn flushes.

The Manganese Solution For Citrus Crops
LIG-MANGANESE
Manganese deficiency is found in many alkaline soils, especially those with free lime and high organic matter levels, and also on heavily leached sandy soils. Deficiency symptoms are characterized by an interveinal chlorosis of the younger and intermediate leaves. Citrus crops are very sensitive to manganese deficiency and it is commonly observed as a compound deficiency with zinc. Manganese deficiency reduces photosynthesis, root growth, sugar production and the disease resistance of citrus trees. Early application prior to flowering and on the new flush is most beneficial, however crops in South Australia may require additional application during the growing season.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-MANGANESE
 
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid uptake & plant utilization
- encourages root growth
- maximizes photosynthesis & sugar production
- improves citrus quality & yields
- good leaf penetration & excellent binding properties
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION
Citrus - apply LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE 3 weeks prior to Spring flowering @ 4 L/ha. For marginal manganese deficiency apply LIG-MANGANESE @ 2 L/ha or LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE @ 4 L/ha on Spring and Autumn flush. For severe deficiencies apply LIG-MANGANESE @ 4 L/ha or alternatively increase LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE rate to 6 L/ha or apply 2 L/ha LIG-MANGANESE with LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE @ 4 L/ha. .

The Phosphorous Solution For Citrus Crops
LIG-POLYPHOS
Apart from nitrogen, phosphorous is the most important nutrient in agricultural production. Phosphorous is essential for root growth, energy production, flowering and fruit quality. Most Australian soils are naturally low in phosphorous, however even after many years of applying phosphorous containing fertilizers the levels of plant available phosphorous are still relatively low, especially on alkaline soils. Under these conditions the vigour and health of young trees is poor as their under-developed root systems struggle to source sufficient soil nutrients. Supplying chelated phosphorous as either a foliar spray or soil application, stimulates root growth and enables the young trees to access soil phosphorous and other nutrients that were previously unavailable.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-POLYPHOS
 
- high plant availability through leaf or dripper
- rapid uptake and plant utilization
- chelated phosphorous will not lock-up on alkaline soils
- stimulates root and shoot growth in young citrus trees
- improves skin quality, juice content and yield
- superior binding properties
- compatible with  fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
APPLICATION

Citrus - 2 sprays @ 5 L/Ha. Apply as a foliar or through drippers during the Spring and Autumn flushes.

The Zinc Solution For Citrus Crops
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
Of all tree crops, citrus is perhaps the most sensitive to zinc deficiency. Fruit yields and quality are adversely effected, while the growth of young trees is severely restricted and some may even die on soils where zinc availability is very poor. On alkaline soils applying zinc in a non-protected form (eg. zinc sulphate) is usually ineffective as soil conditions inhibit zinc uptake and availability to the plant. Foliar application is far more effective and efficient and quite economical.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
 
- high plant availability through leaf or dripper
- rapid leaf uptake & plant  utilization on waxy-leafed crops
- chelated zinc is compatible with spray oils
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- small particle size & binder enhances leaf penetration
- improves fruit set, pack-out & yields
- compatible with LIG-IRON & fungicides & insecticides
- low cost Australian made product
APPLICATION
Citrus - 1- 2 sprays @ 4 L/Ha with Spring and Autumn flushes.
