Ligno Zn
Fast-Acting Zinc Nutrition Complexed with Natural Lignosulfonic Acid
Ligno Zn provides crops with an efficient source of zinc, an essential micronutrient involved in enzyme activation, protein synthesis, nitrogen metabolism and normal plant development. An insufficient zinc supply can restrict leaf expansion, shorten internodes, delay maturity and reduce crop yield and quality, sometimes before visible deficiency symptoms appear.
The lignosulfonic acid in the formulation acts as a natural complexing agent, helping to keep zinc stable and available for plant uptake. Its high solubility makes Ligno Zn suitable for foliar sprays, fertigation and soil applications.
In addition to supplying zinc, the product can help acidify irrigation water, nutrient solutions and spray mixtures. This can improve the conditions for nutrient assimilation, particularly where alkaline water may reduce micronutrient availability.
Ligno Zn is particularly valuable during periods of strong vegetative growth and at zinc-sensitive stages such as vegetative restart, transplant establishment, pre-flowering, fruit enlargement and post-harvest recovery.

FAQ
What is Ligno Zn?
Ligno Zn is a highly soluble liquid fertilizer containing 9.0% w/w zinc complexed with lignosulfonic acid. It is designed to prevent and correct zinc deficiency through foliar or soil application.
What does zinc do in plants?
Zinc participates in enzyme activation, protein synthesis, nitrogen metabolism, growth regulation and several processes related to photosynthesis and normal tissue development.
What are the main symptoms of zinc deficiency?
Common symptoms include reduced leaf size, shortened internodes, interveinal chlorosis, delayed maturity, restricted growth and reduced crop performance. Symptoms vary according to the crop and the severity of the deficiency.
Can Ligno Zn be applied by fertigation?
Yes. Ligno Zn is suitable for soil and root-zone application, including fertigation, provided the locally authorized label and recommended crop rate are followed.
Is it suitable for foliar application?
Yes. Its high solubility and complexed zinc make it suitable for foliar sprays when rapid uptake or correction is required.
When should it be applied?
The ideal timing depends on the crop. Typical application stages include vegetative restart, transplanting, the fourth true-leaf stage, pre-flowering, tillering, fruit enlargement and post-harvest.
Does Ligno Zn help regulate the pH of the application solution?
The formulation has an acidifying effect and can help lower the pH of irrigation water, nutrient solutions or spray mixtures, potentially improving conditions for nutrient availability.
Can it be mixed with fertilizers or plant-protection products?
Ligno Zn is compatible with most fertilizers and plant-protection products. However, a jar test should always be performed before using a new mixture. Avoid mixing products without first confirming their physical and chemical compatibility.
Can Ligno Zn be used preventively?
Yes. Preventive application is recommended in soils or growing conditions that limit zinc availability and in crops with a high demand for this micronutrient.
What pack sizes are available?
Ligno Zn is available in 1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L and 1,000 L containers.
