POTATOES:

Directions and How to Use

  • Use a boom sprayer or hand sprayer.
  • Plants must be actively growing so that sufficient material can be translocated from foliage to tuber. However applying too early will reduce the crop.
  • Spray one week after blossom fall or 2 weeks after full bloom. OR spray 4-6 weeks before harvest, immediately on first sign of yellowing of the tops.
  • DO NOT TREAT POTATOES WHICH ARE GROWN FOR SEED.

When to Use

  • Apply when temperature is below 30C.
  • Spray in the morning when dew has dried, towards the evening or on cool cloudy days.
  • Best results are obtained when relative humidity is greater than 85% and no rain or irrigation occurs for a week.

ONIONS:

Directions and How to Use

  • Avoid spraying onions too early.
  • Combine Slow Grow with a good storing variety of onion.

When to Use

  • Apply the spray when 50% of the tops have fallen, but while all the tops are still green.
  • When plants have 3 green leaves or less and all the tops are down, it is usually too late for effective control.

TOBACCO

Directions and How to Use

  • Apply after topping and following application of a contact desuckerant spray.
  • Wet leaves thoroughly but do not drench.

General Restraints and Cautions

  • Timing is important, at right stage of growth.
  • Uniform and complete coverage is necessary.
  • Ensure spray tanks are clean with no residue remaining from previous sprays.
  • Avoid spraying crops affected by disease or pests.
  • Do not spray if rain or irrigation within 24 hours of application (96 hours Tasmania).
We have won another gold medal for our Shiraz, all due to Kendon High K allowing my vines to achieve their full genetic potential. And we can pick our grapes 2-4 weeks earlier than our neighbours when the fruit has already achieved 22% Brix,.

One day after we fertigated my apple trees with Kendon High K, the apple leaves were noticeably greener and shinier. We could all see the difference. With our apricots, the fruit were on fire, they were so red! The fruit ripened all at the same time, meaning 2 picks instead of 3. The skin was firmer and the flesh was the sweetest we have noticed. This is due to our use of Kendon High K fertigated 3 times before harvest, 2 weeks apart. True confession: this season, we missed our window of applying Kendon High K to the apricots pre-harvest. The crop was pale, didnt ripen evenly and fruit was not as sweet as last season. Having seen the difference in the results, there is no way we will miss applying Kendon High K to our fruiting crops.

Kendon asked why I didnt buy insecticides and fungicides for my potato crop. I told them, I dont need to! I have been using Kendon High K for the last 25 or more years. I watch the deliveries of insecticides every 2 weeks to my neighbours and am thankful I do not have those costs.
