    Recommended application rates

    For optimum results correct boron deficiency. Boron deficiency in floral parts will promote the activity of enzymes that break down auxins found in floral parts. Low levels of auxins lead to poor pollen tube growth and poor fruit set. Any boron deficiency must therefore be corrected before or together with Kelpak application.

    Foliar spray

    Apply Kelpak from start of flowering to fruit set stage. Repeat once or twice at 10 to 12 day intervals.

    Application rate

    3 L/ha (0.3% minimum).
