Kelpak’s efficiency as a cost effective agricultural fertiliser has been scientifically proven internationally in numerous research programs under differing climatic conditions and on a wide variety of crops. This natural product has a broad application base, is easy to apply and is compatible with most crop protection chemicals and foliar feeds. View application rates and timing below:
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate is compatible with most foliar application methods such as the various turbo fan types. Sprays vary from 2-4 pts/Ac. The ratio of Kelpak to water needs to be increased to maintain a 1:300 dilution when volumes above 1000 pts/Ac are used.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can be used in electrostatic sprayers without causing clogging or blockages. Electrostatic sprayers are mostly used in table grapes at a rate of 4-5 pts/A, and applied in about 10-15 gal water/Ac.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate is applied using drip irrigation methods. Apply as pulse at the end of irrigation cycle and do not dilute more than 1:1000.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can also be used in standard aerial applications. Standard rates for foliar application apply. Usually aerial sprays are applied in approximately 8 gallons water per acre.
Bare roots from trees or plants can be soaked in a Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate solution of 1% before plant out.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can be applied as soil drench around the root base of trees and plants or seedbeds in a 0.5-1% solution.
In table grapes Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate foliar sprays can be substituted with directed bunch sprays at a 1% dilution.
In table grapes Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate foliar sprays can be substituted with a bunch dip at a 1% dilution.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate is highly effective as a direct seed dip for coating before planting. Seed coating is recommended at a rate of 6 - 8 fl.Oz / Wct of seed.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can be used as an alternative to dipping, one can spray seed with Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate at a rate of 1-2 pt/Ac directly in the furrow with planter equipment.
Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can be used as seedling tray dip. Immerse seedling tray in a 1% solution or apply as a light hand-watering.
Kelpak's efficacy and cost efficiency have led to its position as the market leader in numerous countries worldwide. We recommend that the Kelpak application guide is closely followed and any conditions indicated, such as time of day, temperature and weather are monitored so as to ensure consistent results, as these can affect the product's efficacy.
