| The Calcium Solution For
Grapevines |
| LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
| Calcium and boron are
critical nutrients for grape quality and yields. Both
nutrients are essential for flowering and low boron causes
flower drop and poor fruit set (chicken & hen). Calcium
and boron greatly enhance grape quality by improving the
firmness and skin strength of berries and this also provides
further resistance against fungal diseases and insect
pests. Water management is critical in calcium nutrition
as the most common cause of calcium deficiency is moisture
stress. Hot weather, excessive vine vigour and high plant
nitrogen levels also promote the problem. The inclusion
of boron with calcium improves uptake and movement and
makes calcium sprays far more effective. The very low
plant mobility of calcium and its preference for new shoots
means that tissue analysis is usually a poor indicator
of grape calcium status. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-CALCIUM + BORON |
|
- high plant availability of calcium & boron
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated boron is very safe on grapes
- inclusion of boron improves calcium uptake & movement
- superior binding properties

| The Iron Solution For Grapevines |
| 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 lock-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
- corrects deficiency quickly and vines stay green
- chelated iron is very safe and won't burn bunches
- enhances photosynthesis and shoot growth
- compatible with LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
- superior binding properties improves canopy penetration
- compatible with all fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Grapevines - 2-4 sprays
@ 2 L/Ha. One application prior to flowering and again
after flowering and repeat if necessary |

| The Magnesium Solution For
Grapevines |
| LIG-MAGNESIUM |
| The importance of magnesium
for photosynthesis is well known, however there is much
evidence to suggest that magnesium deficiency is the main
cause of 'bunch stem necrosis'. When vines are growing
quickly, nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and calcium
tend to move to the new growth at the expense of developing
bunches and as a result there is a tissue breakdown around
the bunch stems and these berries fall off or stop growing.
High levels of ammonium nitrogen in the soil reduces the
uptake of these nutrients, as does moisture stress and
stop/start growing conditions. Magnesium like potassium
is also quickly absorbed and translocated by the leaves
and therefore foliar application is very effective even
in the later stages of development.. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-MAGNESIUM |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid uptake & plant utilization
- helps prevent bunch stem necrosis
- maximizes photosynthesis & sugar production
- improves berry quality & yield
- small particle size & binder improves canopy penetration
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Grapevines - 1-2 sprays
@ 5 L/Ha during fruit set and four weeks later if required. |

| The Phosphorous Solution
For Grapevines |
| 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 soils. Under these conditions
the vigour and health of young vines 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 vine 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 fruit quality. |
| 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 vines
- prevents premature ripening of grapes
- improves grape quality and yield
- superior binding properties
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
|
Grapevines - 1-2 sprays @ 5 L/Ha. Apply as a foliar
or through drippers at any time during the growing season.

| The Potassium Solution For
Grapevines |
| LIG-K + BORON |
| Both potassium and
boron are essential nutrients in grape production. Potassium
is required for grape filling and sugar production (beaume)
which promotes more even ripening of the crop. Boron is
the most important trace element for flowering and deficiencies
usually result in very poor flower set and 'chicken and
hen'. Boron also plays a vital role in berry quality as
it improves skin strength and the uptake and movement
of calcium. |
| 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 beaume levels and yields
- promotes more even ripening
- small particle size & binder enhances canopy penetration
- improves berry colour, size & quality
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
|
Wine Grapes - 2-3 sprays @ 5 L/Ha. First application
2 weeks prior to flowering and repeat at fruit set and
again at bunch closure if required. Table Grapes - 3-5
sprays @ 5 L/Ha commencing 2 weeks prior to flowering
and repeat after flowering at regular intervals up until
2 weeks prior to harvest.

| The Trace Element Solution
For Grapevines |
| 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 grape quality & yield
- binding properties allows early & effective application
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
|
Grapevines - 2-4 sprays @ 2 L/Ha. Apply at least one
spray prior to flowering and a post harvest spray for
next seasons growth. To further improve early growth
include Vigor-Lig Plus @ 2 L/Ha.

| The Zinc Solution For Grapevines |
| LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
| Vines are particularly
sensitive to low zinc levels and a deficiency significantly
reduces yield and quality of grapes. Zinc deficiency causes
uneven fruit set in grapes, also known as 'chicken and
hen'. The secret to reducing chicken and hen is to supply
zinc in the early stages of growth rather than two weeks
prior to flowering as is common practice in many areas.
Because of its excellent binding properties, LIG-ZINC
+ MANGANESE is able to be applied when shoots are only
10 cm long and does not require a large canopy for adequate
absorption. In table grapes LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE can be
applied before any GA sprays are used and not effect 'shattering'.
Zinc is also required for photosynthesis and promotes
root and new shoot growth. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf or drippers
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning
- enhances photosynthesis & new shoot growth
- binder allows early application with minimal leaf area
- prevents uneven fruit set (chicken & hen)
- increases yields
- compatible with LIG-IRON & fungicides & insecticides
- cost effective Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
|
Grapevines - Apply two sprays @ 2 L/Ha. First spray
at 10 cm shoot growth and again two weeks later. For
very severe deficiencies apply an additional 4 L/Ha
2-3 weeks prior to flowering.
