Product Type
Multi-micronutrient deficiency corrector with lignosulfonic acid
Ligno Mix
Highly soluble Mn-Zn-Fe-Cu-B micronutrient corrector complexed with lignosulfonic acid for rapid uptake and prevention of multiple deficiencies.
Ligno Mix is a highly soluble liquid micronutrient corrector containing manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron complexed with lignosulfonic acid. The complexation provides high stability and supports rapid nutrient absorption and assimilation by the crop.
The balanced micronutrient combination is designed for preventive and corrective programmes throughout the crop cycle. It supports key physiological processes linked to chlorophyll formation, root and shoot development, flowering, fruit and seed formation, nitrogen metabolism and crop yield.

Key benefits and agronomic effects
- Prevents and corrects multiple micronutrient deficiencies.
- Supports rapid nutrient uptake through lignosulfonic acid complexation.
- Provides key micronutrients involved in crop development and growth.
- Supports chlorophyll formation, root development, flowering, fruit and seed formation.
- Helps improve the use of available nitrogen.
- Reduces droplet surface tension, supporting even crop coverage and reducing fertilizer wash-off.
How it works / Technical advantages
Ligno Mix uses lignosulfonic acid as a natural complexing agent to stabilize manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron in forms that are readily accessible to plants. The formulation is completely soluble in water and designed for fast nutritional response.
Lignosulfonate also reduces surface tension, improving spray distribution across plant surfaces. Its low-foaming properties facilitate complex tank mixtures and can reduce the need for an additional surfactant in suitable programmes.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Use the crop-specific foliar programmes below, following the recommended number of applications, timing, dose and spray-water volume. The product is also designated for soil use, but specific soil rates are not provided in the source document.
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cereals | Autumn: from 3-leaf stage to winter dormancy. Spring: tillering base, beginning of shoot formation and flag-leaf phase | 1 L/ha | 3 applications. Recommended water volume: 180-300 L/ha. |
| Rapeseed | Autumn: from 4-5 leaf stage to winter dormancy. Spring: from main-shoot growth to green bud and compact green flower-bud stage | 1.0-1.5 L/ha | 3 applications. Recommended water volume: 180-300 L/ha. |
| Maize | 3-6 leaf stage and 6-8 leaf stage | 1 L/ha | 2 applications. Recommended water volume: 180-300 L/ha. |
| Sugar beet | 6-8 leaf stage and compact inter-rows | 1.5 L/ha | 2 applications. Recommended water volume: 180-300 L/ha. |
| Potatoes | Inter-row covering and flowering | 1 L/ha | 2 applications. Recommended water volume: 180-300 L/ha. |
| Vegetables | Leaf growth and biomass building | 1 L/ha | 2-3 applications. Recommended water volume: 200-500 L/ha. |
| Orchards | Fruit growth phase | 0.5 L/ha | 3-4 applications. Recommended water volume: 300-800 L/ha. |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
Ligno Mix is intended for preventive and corrective programmes against deficiencies of manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron. These micronutrients support chlorophyll formation, root and shoot growth, flowering, pollen performance, fruit and seed development, nitrogen metabolism and other key crop processes.
Mixing & compatibility
Compatible with most pesticides and fertilizers. If a combination has not been used previously, perform a jar test to confirm chemical compatibility before application.
Frequently asked questions
What is Ligno Mix?
Ligno Mix is a liquid multi-micronutrient corrector containing manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron complexed with lignosulfonic acid.
What is the composition of Ligno Mix?
It contains 2.5% manganese, 2% zinc, 2% iron, 0.3% copper and 0.4% boron by weight.
What deficiencies can Ligno Mix help correct?
It is designed for preventive and corrective programmes addressing manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron deficiencies.
Why is lignosulfonic acid used in Ligno Mix?
Lignosulfonic acid stabilizes and complexes the micronutrients, supporting their availability and absorption by the plant.
How does Ligno Mix improve foliar coverage?
The lignosulfonate component reduces droplet surface tension, helping provide more even coverage of plant surfaces.
Can Ligno Mix be applied to cereals and oilseed crops?
Yes. Specific foliar programmes are provided for cereals and rapeseed, with applications from early vegetative stages through spring development.
Can Ligno Mix be used on maize, sugar beet and potatoes?
Yes. Crop-specific programmes are provided for maize, sugar beet and potatoes at key vegetative and reproductive stages.
Can Ligno Mix be mixed with pesticides or fertilizers?
It is compatible with most pesticides and fertilizers. For untested combinations, perform a jar test before application.
What pack sizes are available?
Ligno Mix is available in 1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L and 1000 L formats.
