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.

Key Benefits
Fast Correction of Zinc Deficiency
The highly soluble formulation makes zinc readily available to the crop, helping produce a rapid nutritional response when applied through either leaves or roots.
Improved Nutrient Stability
Complexation with lignosulfonic acid helps stabilise zinc in the application solution and supports its availability for plant absorption.
Better Vegetative Development
An adequate zinc supply supports normal leaf expansion, internode development, enzyme function and the synthesis of proteins required for growth and biomass formation.
Support for Nitrogen Metabolism
Zinc participates in several metabolic processes associated with nitrogen use and protein production, helping crops make more efficient use of their nutritional resources.
Flexible Foliar and Soil Application
Ligno Zn can be applied as a foliar spray or through the root zone, allowing growers to adapt the treatment to the crop, production system and severity of the deficiency.
Acidifying Effect
The formulation can help lower the pH of irrigation water, nutrient solutions or spray mixtures, creating more favourable conditions for micronutrient availability and assimilation.

Features and Properties
Ligno Zn is a liquid zinc corrector developed to provide efficient micronutrient nutrition through both foliar and root uptake. Its 9.0% w/w zinc content makes it suitable for preventive nutrition programmes and for the targeted correction of confirmed zinc deficiencies.
The zinc is complexed with lignosulfonic acid, a natural-origin complexing agent that helps maintain the micronutrient in a stable and available form. This complexation contributes to the product’s absorption efficiency and speed of action.
Its high solubility facilitates preparation of the application solution and distribution through foliar spraying, irrigation and fertigation equipment. The dual application route gives growers flexibility when adapting zinc nutrition to different crops and production systems.
Ligno Zn also has an acidifying effect on irrigation water, nutrient solutions and spray mixtures. By helping regulate the pH of the solution, it can create more favourable conditions for the assimilation of zinc and other nutrients.
The formulation is compatible with most fertilizers and plant-protection products. Nevertheless, when preparing a combination that has not been used previously, perform a jar test before application to verify physical and chemical compatibility.
Recommended Crops and Timing of Application
Ligno Zn is recommended for fruit trees, grapevines, citrus, olive trees, greenhouse and open-field vegetables, cereals, industrial crops, nurseries, flowers and ornamental plants.
In perennial crops, the most important application windows include vegetative restart, pre-flowering, active shoot growth, fruit enlargement and post-harvest recovery. These stages often involve strong metabolic activity and increased micronutrient demand.
In horticultural crops, application is recommended at transplanting and from the fourth true-leaf stage to support establishment and vegetative development. In cereals and industrial crops, treatments can be positioned from the fourth-leaf stage and around tillering.
Preventive application is particularly advisable in alkaline or calcareous soils, soils with high phosphorus levels, cold or waterlogged soils, and plots with a known history of zinc deficiency. Corrective application should begin when symptoms such as interveinal chlorosis, reduced leaf size, shortened internodes, delayed maturity or restricted growth are detected.
