Cultivation of potatoes with BioKelp X5: The use of BioKelp X5 made from Ecklonia maxima is already well known to many producers.  

The application or combination of applications will be determined by the climate, planting time, growing season, and the condition of the tubers.

The application times and quantities of BioKelp X5 are as follows:

1.  At planting:  
Apply in the furrow at 2-4 L/ha.

2.  Post-emergence:  
First foliar application 14 days after emergence, followed by another application 14 days later at 400-600 ml/ha with 500-1000 L/ha water.

3.  After tuber initiation or in stress conditions:  
Foliar application at 400-600 ml/ha.

BioKelp X5 can be applied with micronutrients and delivers excellent results when sprayed with Boron, Zinc, and Molybdenum.

Good yield is determined by the number of tubers formed during tuber initiation and the size the tubers can reach during the growing season.

Always ensure you carefully follow the instructions on the product label. Feel free to contact one of the Atlantic Fertilisers’ area managers to help you with soil sampling, analysis interpretation, and the implementation of adjustments and nutrition programs.
