    Kelpak and boron on almonds

    Kelpak on almond fruit set

    Kelpak increases beneficial responses in crops including improved root and shoot growth, higher yields and increased tolerance to stress. Scientific trials demonstrate that Kelpak also significantly increases pollen germination and pollen tube growth resulting in improved fertilization and fruit set. It is important to note that boron deficiency in plants will lead to poor fruit set. It is therefore essential to correct any boron deficiency alongside Kelpak application for optimal results.
