The Foliar Potassium Solution For Cotton
LIG-K + BORON
Potassium is required for boll filling and low potassium levels after flowering induce premature senescence that significantly reduces yield. Potassium deficiency inhibits the formation of proteins and causes an accumulation of soluble nitrogen compounds that may reduce fibre quality. Plants with good levels of potassium are also more tolerant of moisture stress, and this is advantageous for calcium and boron uptake. The inclusion of boron also improves flowering and fibre length. Deficiencies are most likely to occur when soil temperatures are low or when soils are waterlogged. Large amounts of soil available nitrogen also inhibit potassium uptake
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-K + BORON
 
- high plant availability of potassium through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & translocation to developing bolls
- chelated boron is very safe & improves flowering
- required for boll filling
- prevents premature senescence
- binding properties enhance cover spray effectiveness
- improves cotton quality & yield
- compatible with  herbicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION
Cotton – Apply 2 L/Ha prior to flowering and repeat after flowering if required.

The Nitrogen Solution For Cotton Crops
LIG-NIT
Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for plant growth, however in most cropping systems it is rarely the most limiting nutrient. In situations such as waterlogging, the availability of soil nitrogen is significantly reduced, and under these conditions nitrogen is likely to become a limiting factor and deficiency symptoms may be observed. Nitrogen is required for the formation of amino acids and proteins that produce many enzymes that are essential for plant processes such as energy production and growth. Nitrogen is also essential for flowering and the regulation of plant hormones that control vegetative growth and maturity.
THE ADVANTAGES OF *LIG-NIT
 
- high plant availability through leaf 
- rapid uptake and plant utilization
- chelated nitrogen will not burn
- stimulates plant growth in waterlogged soils
- prevents premature senescence
- improves cotton yield
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- compatible with  herbicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
APPLICATION
Cotton – Apply 4-5 L/Ha as a foliar spray when soil is waterlogged or when plants require a quick source of available nitrogen. *LIG-NIT is not designed to replace soil nitrogen application or to correct medium to long term deficiencies.

The Phosphorous Solution For Cotton Crops
LIG-POLYPHOS
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 clay soils. Under these conditions the vigour and health of young plants is poor as their under-developed root systems are unable to source sufficient soil nutrients. Supplying chelated phosphorous as either a foliar spray or soil application, stimulates root growth and enables the young plants to access soil phosphorous and other nutrients that were previously unavailable. As well as root growth, phosphorous is also essential for energy production, flowering and fibre quality
THE ADVANTAGES OF *LIG-POLYPHOS
 
- high plant availability through leaf or soil
- rapid uptake and plant utilization
- chelated phosphorous will not lock-up on alkaline soils
- stimulates root and shoot growth in young plants
- prevents premature senescence
- improves cotton quality and yield
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- compatible with  herbicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
APPLICATION
Cotton – Apply 2 L/Ha via injection at sowing or as a foliar spray 10-14 days after emergence. *LIG-POLYPHOS is a supplement to normal phosphorous applications and is not designed to correct major deficiencies.

The Zinc Solution For Cotton Crops
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
Zinc deficiency is common on alkaline soils such as those found in Northern NSW and Southern Queensland. 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 and the reduction in zinc uptake caused by high phosphorous concentrations near the seed. The use of sulphonylurea herbicides (eg. Ally, Glean) also reduce zinc uptake and may induce zinc deficiency. Zinc is particularly important in the early stages of a plant’s life for germination, root function, photosynthesis and flowering as well as enhancing boll filling and disease resistance. Cotton is particularly sensitive to zinc deficiency and to be effective, zinc must be applied prior to 1st square.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
 
- high plant availability through leaf 
- rapid leaf uptake & plant  utilization
- chelated zinc is available in alkaline soils
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves flowering & yields
- compatible with herbicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
APPLICATION
Cotton Crops – 1-2 L/Ha at sowing via injection or as a foliar spray 10-14 days after emergence or prior to 1st square with post emergent herbicides & insecticides.
