Benefits of Kelpak on Capsicums
Trials carried out on capsicum crops in California improved early harvest and marketable yields:
- Reduces transplant shock
- Increases fruit size
- Higher early harvest yields
Capsicum California:
AVERAGE YIELD INCREASE % ABOVE CONTROL1
Recommended application rates
Dip the roots of seedlings (or seedling tray) in 1% Kelpak before transplanting into the field or greenhouse.
Follow up with a 2 pts/Ac Kelpak foliar spray 14 days later and repeat the foliar spray once or twice at 14 day intervals. Spray direct seeded crops at 3 to 4-leaf stage and repeat once or twice at 14 day intervals.
Alternatively to seedling dip at plant-out, Kelpak may be applied at 7 Pts/Ac as a pulse through drippers after transplanting. Rinse lines after pulse.
