| The Calcium Solution For
Cucurbit Crops |
| LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
| Essential for the formation,
stabilization, strength and integrity of cell walls and
membranes. A deficiency of calcium and boron will reduce
fruit firmness, sweetness and disease resistance. Calcium
improves storage life because it inhibits the production
of ethylene, a gas produced by fruit to accelerate ripening.
Boron is vital for flowering, calcium uptake and movement
and the transport of plant sugars to developing melons.
The major cause of calcium and boron deficiencies is moisture
stress, and during hot weather this is usually accentuated
by a large release of plant available nitrogen. Under
these conditions, root uptake of calcium and boron is
reduced and these nutrients are diverted away from developing
fruit into the new shoot growth created by the release
of extra soil nitrogen. |
| 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 & soft fruit
- increased firmness and storage life of melons
- contains no chloride & low levels of nitrogen
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
|
| APPLICATION |
| Cucurbits – Apply 5
L/Ha two weeks prior to flowering and again four weeks
later and repeat if required. |

| The Molybdenum Solution
For Cucurbits |
| LIG-MOLY |
| Molybdenum deficiency
is usually associated with acidic soils that reduce the
plant availability of molybdenum, however many alkaline
soils have very low levels of native molybdenum. A particularly
important nutrient in cucurbit production for flowering
and the conversion of soluble nitrogen compounds to proteins.
Low molybdenum and boron levels at flowering reduce pollen
viability and result in lower yields and smaller, misshapen
fruit. The formation of proteins required for chlorophyll
size and structure are significantly reduced when molybdenum
is deficient, this leads to lower levels of photosynthetic
activity and sugar production |
| THE ADVANTAGES OFLIG-MOLY |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated molybdenum
- increases the utilization efficiency of nitrogen
- superior binding properties allows early application
- improves flowering & fruit set
- lifts fruit quality & yields
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Cucurbits – Apply 2
L/Ha 2-3 weeks prior to flowering |

| The Potassium Solution For
Cucurbit Crops |
| LIG-K + BORON |
| Potassium is required
in the later stages of growth for even ripening and also
increases the size and weight of melons. Potassium deficiency
inhibits the formation of proteins and causes an accumulation
of soluble nitrogen compounds that may reduce quality.
After flowering it is important to increase potassium
supply and reduce nitrogen application. Potassium improves
weight and size of fruit via sugar production and increased
transport of nutrients and sugars from leaves to fruit.
Plants with good levels of potassium are also more tolerant
of moisture stress, this is advantageous for calcium and
boron uptake. The inclusion of boron improves uptake and
movement of calcium for optimum quality. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-K + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of potassium through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & translocation to developing fruit
- chelated boron is very safe
- increases weight and size of melons
- promotes even fruit development
- binding properties enhance cover spray effectiveness
- improves fruit quality & yield
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Ccucurbits – Apply
2-4 sprays @ 5 L/Ha commencing at mid-growth stage and
repeat every 10-14 days up until harvest. |

| The Zinc Solution For Cucurbit
Crops |
| LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
| Zinc is the most limiting
trace element in Australian Agriculture and deficiencies
are most common on alkaline soils due to the low availability
of zinc at high pH. Deficiencies may also occur on leached
sandy acid soils or after liming. Zinc is essential for
photosynthesis, sugar production, disease resistance and
the formation of plant growth hormones. Deficiencies usually
result in poor early growth of plants and uneven fruit
set. Plant zinc requirements are greatest during early
growth and flowering so it is essential to apply zinc
as early as possible for optimum effectiveness. . |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf or dripper
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- superior binding properties allows early application
- more even fruit set
- increases yields
- compatible with LIG-IRON, fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Cucurbits – Apply 2
L/Ha 14 days after emergence and again 2-3 weeks prior
to flowering. In South Australia apply an additional spray
@ 4 L/Ha prior to flowering. Through fertigation apply
2 L/Ha at emergence and @ 4 L/Ha three weeks later. |
