Ligno Mix
Complete Micronutrient Nutrition with Natural Lignosulfonate Complexation
Ligno Mix provides crops with five essential micronutrients in readily available forms: manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron. These elements contribute to chlorophyll formation, photosynthetic activity, nitrogen metabolism, protein synthesis, vegetative growth, flowering, pollen viability, fruit development and seed formation.
Complexation with natural lignosulfonic acid improves the stability and availability of the micronutrients, promoting rapid absorption and an effective plant response. This makes Ligno Mix suitable for both preventive nutrition programmes and corrective applications when crops show early signs of micronutrient imbalance.
The formulation also helps optimise spray coverage. The surface-active properties of lignosulfonates reduce droplet surface tension, supporting more uniform distribution across the plant and helping limit fertiliser losses from leaf surfaces. Its low-foaming behaviour facilitates preparation and application, including use in complex tank mixtures.
By maintaining a balanced micronutrient supply during critical development stages, Ligno Mix helps stabilise crop metabolism, improve nutritional efficiency and sustain the physiological condition required to maximise yield potential and crop quality. All composition and application information below is based on the official Ligno Mix datasheet.

FAQ
What is Ligno Mix?
Ligno Mix is a liquid micronutrient fertiliser containing manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron complexed with lignosulfonic acid. It is designed to prevent and correct multiple micronutrient deficiencies.
What is the composition of Ligno Mix?
Its declared composition is 2.50% manganese, 2.00% zinc, 2.00% iron, 0.30% copper and 0.40% boron by weight, with lignosulfonic acid as the natural complexing agent.
What deficiencies can it help correct?
It can be incorporated into programmes addressing manganese, zinc, iron, copper and boron deficiencies, including situations where several micronutrient imbalances occur simultaneously.
How does lignosulfonic acid improve the formulation?
Lignosulfonic acid helps stabilise and complex the micronutrients, maintaining them in available forms and supporting their absorption. It also improves spray distribution by reducing droplet surface tension.
Can Ligno Mix be applied as a foliar fertiliser?
Yes. The datasheet provides foliar rates for cereals, rapeseed, maize, sugar beet, potatoes, vegetables and orchards.
Can it be used through fertigation?
The product is indicated for foliar and soil use. However, specific soil or fertigation rates are not provided in the datasheet, so these applications should follow the approved local label or a qualified technical recommendation.
Is an additional surfactant required?
The lignosulfonate component naturally reduces surface tension and supports uniform plant coverage. An additional surfactant may therefore be unnecessary in many programmes, although the requirements of other tank-mix products and local application conditions must be considered.
Can Ligno Mix be mixed with pesticides or other fertilisers?
It is compatible with most fertilisers and pesticides. A jar test should be performed before preparing any mixture that has not previously been tested.
When should the product be applied?
For best results, apply preventively before periods of high micronutrient demand or as soon as early deficiency symptoms are detected. Crop-specific timings include active vegetative growth, flowering, fruit development and seed formation.
How many applications are recommended?
Depending on the crop, approximately two to four applications are recommended. The interval and number of treatments should be adjusted to crop condition, development stage and nutritional requirements.
