The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra
Scientific field trials conducted in a variety of conditions clearly show the many benefits of applying Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Extract to nut crops resulting in improved root development, tree heath, nut-set, marketable yields and ultimately a significant return on investment
Kelpak on Almonds
- Improved health of nursery trees
- Increased nut weight and quality
- Increased marketable yield
- Certified for use in organic crop production
Trials in California show increased yields
x2 trials in california during the 2020 season showed a good return for the grower
Recommended application rates
Bearing trees : 2 - 3 foliar sprays of 2 - 3 pts/Ac, between pink bud and sepal fall (shuck split).
Post harvest spray at 2 pts/Ac with nitrogen application and repeated 14 days later for recovery of heavy bearing trees.
Tree establishment : Dip bare roots of nursery trees in 1 gal Kelpak in 100 gal water solution directly before plant-out. For better tree development apply foliar sprays of 2 pts/Ac with 3 to 4-week intervals during early growth.
Almonds control:

Over 15 years of trials in California
Trials in California during the 2020 season showed an excellent returns for the grower
Recommended application rates
Sepal fall : Spray 2 - 3 pints/Acre at petal fall.
Early nut develpment : Repeat the application, spray 2 - 3 pints/Acre, 2 - 3 weeks after first application, during early nut development.
Nut fill : Repeat again, spray 2 - 3 pints/Acre, 5 - 6 weeks after the first application, at nut fill.
Nursery tree establishment : To reduce transplant shock at orchard establishment apply foliar spray of 2 pts/Acre after plant-out.
Kelpak on Walnuts
- Improves health of nursery trees
- Improves the development of new growth in spring
- Better nut set and retention of bearing trees
- Better nut yields
Recommended application rates.
Established trees: Apply a minimum of 3 pts/Ac, not more dilute than 3 pts of water,
2 to 3 times between catkin development and receptive pistillate stages.
Tree establishment: Apply 2 pts of a 1% Kelpak solution (2 pts Kelpak in 200 pts water) as a soil drench directly after plant-out, or drench the nursery bag with the solution directly before plant-out. Follow up with foliar sprays of
2 pts Kelpak per 200 pts water (0.25%) with
3 to 4 week intervals during early growth.
