Recommendations for use of K-Leaf

HIGH-GRADE POTASH BOOSTER for FOLIAR APPLICATION

A minimum 51.5% K2O (42% K) and 46% SO3 (18.5% S) content supplying a very high concentration of nutrients.

COMPATIBILITY

  • K-Leaf is compatible with most other soluble and liquid fertilizers within normal concentration ranges, except with those containing calcium, which causes precipitation of calcium sulfate.
  • K-Leaf is also compatible with most pesticides and fungicides.
  • It is recommended that K-Leaf is dissolved first before addition of other fertilizers or crop protection products.

PREPARATION WHEN SPRAYING K-LEAF

  • Foliar sprays of K-Leaf should be applied when crops are turgid (i.e., either in the evening or early in the morning, but never during the heat of the day).
  • It is recommended to conduct a small-scale trial in order to check the compatibility of the mixture before large scale operation.
  • K-Leaf, being acidic, may enhance the penetration of certain crop protection products
  • In cases where low spray volumes could be an issue with respect to concentration, please consult with your Tessenderlo Kerley International Expert or any other qualified agronomist.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF K-LEAF

  • Fill the tank with water to at least two-thirds of its capacity
  • Add K-Leaf, taking care not to exceed the maximum recommended concentration.
  • For field, root and leguminous crops it is not recommended to exceed a concentration of 6% of K-Leaf (w/w) in the spray solution.
  • For vegetables crops it is not recommended to exceed a concentration of 4% of K-Leaf (w/w) in the spray solution.
  • For fruit crops it is not recommended to exceed a concentration of 3% of K-Leaf (w/w) in the spray solution.
  • Maintain stirring or agitation throughout the entire operation.
  • Complete the filling of the tank with water
  • Check that the K-Leaf has dissolved completely before injecting the solution into the spraying system.
