The Calcium and Boron Solution For Lettuce Crops
LIG-CALCIUM + BORON
Tip burn is a localized calcium deficiency in young lettuce leaves often induced by large releases of soil available nitrogen. This results in a nutrient imbalance (high nitrogen and low calcium, potassium, boron) that is detrimental to lettuce quality. It is particularly prevalent in hot and overcast weather conditions and stop/start growing conditions. Low plant molybdenum levels can also accentuate the problem.
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
- prevents tip burn & enhances lettuce colour & quality
- contains no chloride & only a small amount of nitrogen
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
APPLICATION
Field lettuce - 3-5 sprays @ 5 L/Ha commencing at heart formation through to harvest. For high risk crops increase application rate to 7.5 L/Ha. Hydroponic lettuce - 4-8 sprays @ 1 L/100 L water.

The Potassium Solution For Lettuce Crops
LIG-K+BORON
Potassium is an important nutrient for lettuce yield and quality. Potassium is required for the production and transport of plant sugars that increase the weight of lettuce, while also offsetting the detrimental effects of high plant nitrogen levels on produce quality. Lettuce have a very high potassium requirement, the bulk of which is needed from heart formation to harvest. Because potassium is very mobile within the plant, foliar application of potassium is very effective, especially in the later stages of growth. Soil uptake of potassium is inefficient and therefore deficiencies often occur in soils high in potash and especially if calcium, magnesium and nitrogen levels are also high. Deficiency symptoms appear in the older leaves that may be a light green colour and have necrosis of the entire leaf margin.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-K + BORON
 
- high plant availability of potassium through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & effective when applied late
- inclusion of boron improves calcium uptake and sugar transport
- increases plant sugar levels and yields
- promotes more even development
- small particle size & binder enhances canopy penetration
- improves lettuce colour & quality
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
 & insecticides
- low cost Australian made product
APPLICATION
Lettuce - apply 5 L/ha every 14 days from heart formation through to harvest with LIG-CALCIUM + BORON. .
 
 
 
The Zinc Solution For Lettuce Crops
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
Zinc is very important in the production of plant hormones that control the growth and reproduction of plants. Applying zinc early on lettuce plants will promote root development and is especially beneficial for improving the growth and health of transplants. Zinc will also enhance photosynthesis and further growth which allows you to produce a bigger and healthier plant more quickly
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
 
- high plant availability through leaf or dripper
- rapid leaf uptake & plant  utilization
- chelated zinc is very safe
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- small particle size & binder enhances leaf penetration
- improves the colour & size of lettuce
- compatible with LIG-IRON &  fungicides & insecticides
- low cost Australian made product
APPLICATION
Lettuce - 1-2 sprays @ 4 L/Ha commencing prior to heart formation and again 14 days later.
