Major challenges when growing berries in Oz • Tropical growing conditions • High rainfall promotes disease outbreaks • High soil nitrogen promotes excessive vigour • Quick fruit development compromises berry quality • Tank mixes with up to 8 different products • Crop safety with ‘hot’ cover sprays
VIGOR-LIG PLUS (10.2-4.6-7.8 + Mg 0.5% & trace elements) • Complete nutrient spray with chelated trace elements • Ideal for crop establishment & early growth • Aids recovery of stressed, waterlogged plants • Compatible with insecticides/fungicides • Use as a soil drench when transplanting • Excellent leaf binding properties • Promotes even growth not excessive vigour
LIG-ZINC + BORON(Zn 7%, B 1.5%) • Fully chelated for optimum foliar efficiency • Quick correction of major deficiencies @ 1.5 qt/ac • Can be applied on emerging crops sooner than sulfates or oxides • Zn & B promote even fruit setting • Boron increases fruit sugar & calcium levels • Excellent binding properties minimises wash-off • Good chemical & nutrient compatibility
LIG-TRACE (N 5%, Mn 2.5%, Zn 2%, Fe 2%, S 2%, B 1.4%, Mg 1%, Cu 0.5%, Mo 0.1%) • Good balance of essential micronutrients + N, Mg, S • Improve growth of young plants & runners • Low rate @ 1 qt/ac will correct deficiencies • Fully chelated cations (Mn, Zn, Fe, Mg, Cu) • Excellent binding properties minimises wash-off • Improves plant health & disease resistance • High boron content enhances flowering & fruit quality • Good chemical & nutrient compatibility

LIG-K + BORON (K2O 12%, B 2%,) • Quick translocation to developing fruit • Increases sugar production & movement to berries • Much more effective than soil potassium particularly later in the season • Promotes berry size, weight & colour • Counters the detrimental affects of high nitrogen • Excellent leaf binding properties • Good chemical & nutrient compatibility
LIG-MAGNESIUM (Mg 10%, N 8%,) • Quick leaf uptake • Optimises photosynthesis & sugar production • More effective late season than soil application • Enhances berry color • Improve growth of young plants • High analysis complex • Excellent chemical & nutrient compatibility
