Mechanism of action
Ligoplex Ca contains a high concentration of Calcium complexed entirely with ammonium lignosulphonate (LSA), an organic molecule deriving from lignin, which is able to penetrate rapidly through the leaf cuticle and carry micronutrients inside vegetal tissues.
Ligoplex Ca prevents physiological disorders due to Calcium deficiency (bitter pit in pome fruits, blossom end rot in solanaceous crops, tip burn on leafy vegetables, leaf and stalk spot of melon) and improves the firmness of green tissues and fruit, extending their shelf-life.
Thanks to LSA, Ligoplex Ca can be applied on soft leaf surfaces with no risk of phytotoxicity.
Compatibility
The product can be mixed with all common formulations, except with products based on Sulphur, mineral oils, emulsions and Bordeaux mixture. A simple mixture test to check compatibility is advisable.
