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 L/ha 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 L/ha as a pulse through drippers after transplanting. Rinse lines after pulse.
