NB Boron application with Kelpak is essential for fruit set:
It is important to note that boron deficiency in plants will result in poor pollen tube growth and fruit set. It is therefore essential to correct any boron deficiency before or with Kelpak application for optimal results. Caution: Do not apply boron where (boron) toxicity may occur.
Promoting Growth
Plant Biostimulant.
Kelpak Plant biostimulant improves root development, flowering, fruit set, fruit retention and crop resilience by using nature's own code to elicit powerful responses in crops that improve quality and yield. Available in multiple formats for farms of all sizes.
