A high-analysis, pH-buffered potassium source complexed with citric and fulvic acids. Boll Boost™ is specifically designed for foliar fertilising cotton during the potassium-hungry boll-fill stage.

Packaging.

• 200 litres (300kg).
  Weight per volume: 1.421

Information:

• Boll size is potassium-dependent. Over 75% of cotton leaf tests reveal inadequate potassium levels at the critical boll-fill stage.
• No unwanted tag-ons. Potassium fertilisers usually exist as a compound (ie. K-Nitrate, K-sulfate, K-chloride). Nitrates, sulfates and chlorides are often inappropriate inputs. Boll-Boost™ provides high concentrations of pure potassium in an organic acid base.
• Helps overcome lock-ups. Potassium can become trapped between clay platelets often making it inaccessible.
• No risk of burning. Liquid potassium fertilisers are often harsh and alkaline with the likelihood of phytotoxic response. pH buffered Boll-Boost™ has a near neutral pH and consequently more potassium can be applied without risking damage.
• Enhances photosynthesis. Potassium governs the opening and closing of the stomata which affect the efficiency of photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis produces produces 95 % of the total cotton plant.
• A completely natural product (but not certified organic).

Application Rates:

• Before Flowering: Apply at 3 to 5 litres per hectare diluted in 100 litres of water.
• After Flowering: Apply 5 -10 litres per hectare diluted in 100 litres of water.

Note:

• Potassium is often only required following the major potassium draw down associated with flowering and boll-set formation. Oversupply of potassium in the early stages of growth will often be at the expense of calcium availability.
