LoKomotive
Both products were applied at flag leaf
Both soil and tissue tests indicated low levels of potassium
No other potassium was added throughout the season
LoKomotive was applied at a rate of 2L/ac, Headline at 40ac/jug
Potassium believed to be limiting yield but application timing of this trial was too late
