Product Type
Organic zinc deficiency corrector with lignosulfonic acid
Ligno Zn
Highly soluble zinc deficiency corrector complexed with lignosulfonic acid for rapid uptake, protein synthesis, crop growth and improved zinc nutrition.
Ligno Zn is a highly soluble liquid zinc corrector complexed with lignosulfonic acid, a natural chelating agent that improves stability and promotes rapid absorption by the crop. It is designed for both foliar and soil application to prevent and correct zinc deficiency.
Zinc plays a central role in protein synthesis, enzyme activity, cell growth, photosynthesis and crop development. Ligno Zn also acts as an acidifier for nutrient solutions and spray water, supporting nutrient assimilation.

How it works / Technical advantages
Ligno Zn uses lignosulfonic acid to complex zinc in a highly soluble and stable form, supporting fast uptake through both foliar and root pathways. Its natural complexing system improves zinc availability while avoiding the need to rely on less soluble zinc sources.
Zinc is essential for enzyme activity, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, photosynthesis and balanced mineral nutrition. Maintaining adequate zinc nutrition helps support crop yield, quality and vegetative development before visible deficiency becomes severe.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Follow the crop-specific foliar and soil rates listed below. Ligno Zn is intended for preventive and corrective zinc nutrition, with applications focused on establishment, active vegetative growth, flowering, fruit development and post-harvest stages.
Soil application
| Crops | Timing | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit trees, grapes, citrus and olive trees | At vegetative restart, before flowering and post-harvest; also during vegetative growth and fruit enlargement | 3-5 L/ha |
| Greenhouse horticultural crops | At transplanting and from the 4th true leaf during vegetative growth | 3-4 L/ha |
| Open-field horticultural crops | At transplanting and from the 4th true leaf during vegetative growth | 3-4 L/ha |
| Cereal and industrial crops | At the 4th leaf after tillering | 3-4 L/ha |
| Nurseries | Within the 4th leaf stage | 3-4 L/ha |
| Flowers and ornamentals | At the beginning of and during vegetative growth | 3-4 L/ha |
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit trees, grapes, citrus and olive trees | At vegetative restart, before flowering and post-harvest; also during vegetative growth and fruit enlargement | 2-4 L/ha |
| Greenhouse horticultural crops | At transplanting and from the 4th true leaf during vegetative growth | 2-3 L/ha |
| Open-field horticultural crops | At transplanting and from the 4th true leaf during vegetative growth | 2-3 L/ha |
| Cereal and industrial crops | At the 4th leaf after tillering | 2-3 L/ha |
| Nurseries | Within the 4th leaf stage | 2-3 L/ha |
| Flowers and ornamentals | At the beginning of and during vegetative growth | 1-3 L/ha |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
Ligno Zn is designed to prevent and correct zinc deficiency. Typical deficiency effects include short internodes, smaller leaves, delayed maturity, disrupted photosynthesis and water relations, imbalanced mineral nutrition, reduced protein synthesis, enzyme inactivation and abnormal cell proliferation.
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.
