Kendon’s High K is a broad-spectrum liquid fertiliser designed to enhance crop yields, improve quality, and promote plant health.

Kendon’s High K is a broad-spectrum liquid fertiliser designed to enhance crop yields, improve quality, and promote plant health.

Formulated with essential macronutrients – 10 per cent nitrogen, 15 per cent phosphorus and 20 per cent potassium – along with key trace elements in highly bioavailable EDTA-chelated forms, High K ensures fast absorption by both leaves and roots.

It’s hard to miss Kendon’s High K in its bright blue container.

This balanced nutrient mix supports healthy plant development, making it ideal for a wide range of crops, including fruit, vegetables, fodder, and turf. 

To better unlock the full genetic potential of the crop, High K’s unique formulation boosts plant quality in several significant ways.

By increasing soluble solids in the leaf sap, High K enhances key palatability traits such as aroma, flavour, texture, and juiciness in fruits.

This also results in shorter growth cycles, uniform fruiting, and improved ripening consistency.

By increasing soluble solids in the leaf sap, High K enhances key palatability traits such as aroma, flavour, texture, and juiciness in fruits.

Research done by Latrobe University has shown that High K can increase the marketable yield of crops, such as strawberries, by up to 29 per cent, by optimising soluble sugar levels.

This leads to produce that is not only more appealing but also has a longer shelf life, reducing post-harvest losses and improving profitability.

By enhancing plant health and resistance, in addition to its fertilising benefits, High K also offers fungicidal and insecticidal properties.

Studies have shown it also significantly reduces the incidence of late blight in strawberries by 54 per cent.

The increased sugar content in plants treated with High K also makes them less attractive to pests, helping to minimise insect damage.

With its easy application and versatility, High K is suitable for all stages of plant growth, with particular benefits during the fruit filling stage.

 balanced nutrient mix supports healthy plant development, making it ideal for a wide range of crops, including fruit, vegetables, fodder, and turf.

It can be applied through overhead irrigation, drip systems, or in greenhouses, making it easy to integrate into various irrigation practices.

Its versatility extends to a wide range of crops, including all the tree crops, bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and vegetable varieties.

High K is recommended for use in diverse agricultural systems, from conventional fields to protected cultivation environments.

With its added efficient nutrient delivery and reduced wastage, High K’s EDTA-chelated trace elements ensure enhanced nutrient bioavailability, allowing faster and more efficient uptake by plants.

This reduces nutrient wastage and improves the overall effectiveness of fertilisation.

The use of low-biuret urea in High K prevents leaf burn and ensures that nitrogen is immediately available for plant use, promoting steady, healthy growth without risk of toxicity.

Additionally, High K eliminates residual nitrates in leaf sap, preventing potential negative effects on plant health and reducing attractiveness to insects.

Fertilising is made simple with High K because it is a comprehensive plant care solution which simplifies fertilisation.

By enhancing plant quality, boosting yields, and improving resistance to pests and diseases, High K enables farmers to grow healthier, more marketable crops while reducing input costs.

With its scientifically proven formulation, High K is paving the way for sustainable, high-performance agriculture, helping crops reach their full genetic potential and ensuring optimal growth and productivity.
