The Calcium Solution For Stone Fruit Crops
LIG-CALCIUM + BORON
High levels of calcium are essential for the quality of fleshy fruit such as peaches, nectarines and apricots. Domestic and export markets demand a quality product, and high levels of calcium and boron in stone fruit will produce a firmer, better looking product with superior storage characteristics. Boron prevents stone splitting and along with calcium increases the disease resistance of stone fruit.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-CALCIUM + BORON
 
- high plant availability of calcium & boron
- rapid leaf & fruit uptake & plant  utilization
- chelated boron ensures no burning or marking
- inclusion of boron improves calcium uptake & movement
- better fruit firmness and storage life
- superior binding properties
- better fruit colour & quality
- contains no chloride & low levels of nitrogen
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
APPLICATION
Stone Fruit - 3-6 sprays @ 5 L/Ha or 15-30 L/season commencing with first cover spray after petal fall and repeat every 14 days. The number of sprays will depend upon variety and seasonal conditions.

The Iron Solution For Stone Fruit 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 & will not burn or mark fruit
- enhances photosynthesis and shoot growth
- compatible with LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
- superior binding properties improves fungicide efficiency
- compatible with  fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION
Stone Fruit - 2-3 sprays @ 2 L/Ha. First application with first cover spray after petal fall and repeat every 2-3 weeks or as required. Through fertigation apply 2 L/Ha prior to flowering and 2-5 L/Ha after petal fall.

The Magnesium For Stone Fruit Crops
LIG-MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is essential for photosynthesis, sugar production, skin colour and drought tolerance in stone fruit. Magnesium deficiency is most common on acidic and sandy soils and its uptake is reduced by high levels of soil ammonium, calcium and potassium. Deficiency symptoms appear first in the older leaves as a bright yellow chlorosis beginning at the top of the leaf and often in a 'V' shape. Spray seed or herbicide damage is often mistaken for magnesium deficiency. 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 quality & yield of stone fruit
- small particle size & binder improves canopy penetration
- compatible with fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION
Stone fruit - apply 2 sprays @ 5 L/ha after petal fall. Repeat 2-3 weeks prior to harvest for enhanced fruit colour.

The Potassium Solution For Stone Fruit
LIG-K + BORON
Potassium and boron are required for sugar formation, fruit filling and ripening in the later stages of fruit development. Potassium is utilized quicker and more efficiently through the leaves than via soil application. Therefore there is a real benefit in using foliar potassium sprays closer to harvest to improve quality and yields. The inclusion of boron not only improves the efficiency of potassium sprays but also increases fruit calcium levels and skin strength.
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 sugar levels,  fruit size and yields
- promotes more even ripening
- binding properties enhance cover spray effectiveness
- improves fruit colour & quality
- compatible with  fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION

Stone Fruit - 2-3 sprays @ 5 L/Ha. First application four weeks after flowering and repeat at regular intervals up until three weeks prior to harvest.

The Trace Element Solution For Stone Fruit
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 stone fruit quality & yield
- binding properties allows early application
- compatible with  fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made product
APPLICATION

Stone Fruit - 2-4 sprays @ 2 L/Ha commencing after petal fall. To further improve early growth include Vigor-Lig Plus @ 2 L/Ha.

The Zinc Solution For Stone Fruit Crops
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
Zinc is probably the most limiting trace element in Australian agricultural production and plays a very important role in plant nutrition. Zinc is especially important in the early stages of growth for photosynthesis and flowering, and root development in young plants.
THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
 
- high plant availability through leaf or dripper
- rapid leaf uptake & plant  utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning or marking
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of trees
- superior binding properties
- more even fruit set & fruit size
- compatible with LIG-IRON &  fungicides & insecticides
- Australian made
APPLICATION

Stone Fruit - 2-4 sprays @ 2 L/Ha commencing with first cover spray after petal fall and repeat every 10-14 days. Post harvest application for following season 4 L/Ha over leaf or through dripper.
