Timing is important as early spraying may reduce crop yield and late spraying may reduce effectiveness.
Plants must be actively growing so that sufficient material can be translocated from foliage to tuber, but applying too early will reduce crop.
Spray one week after blossom fall or two weeks after full bloom. In conditions when good flowering does not occur spray immediately upon the first sign of yellowing of the tops usually 4-6 weeks before harvest.
Spray in the morning, after most of the dew has dried, towards the evening or spray on cool cloudy days.
Uniform and complete coverage is nec- essary.
Apply when temperature is below 30C.
Best results are obtained when the relative humidity is greater than 85% and no rain or irrigation occurs for a week.
Do not spray if rain is expected within 24 hours or irrigate within 24 hours of application (96 hours in Tasmania)
Avoid spraying crops affected by diseases or pests
Do not treat potatoes which are grown for seed
How to Use - Onions
Green crops are essential for absorption of the product and translocation to the bulb.
Avoid use on crops severely diseased.
Avoid spraying onions too early.
Apply the spray when 50% of the tops have fallen, but while all the tops are still green.
When plants have three green leaves or less and all the tops are down it is usually too late for effective control.
Uniform and complete coverage is necessary.
The use of this product should be combined with selection of a good storing variety.
Testimonials
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.
