Get the MOST out of your ALFALFA this year by fertilizing with N. P & K.
As you can see Alfalfa takes a lot out of the crop and by applying fertilizer
the crop get what it needs and keeps your soil nutrient levels up.
The addition of BORON to your Alfalfa fertilizer helps by:
• Maintaining a balance between sugar and starch.
• The translocation of sugar and carbohydrates.
• It is important in pollination and seed reproduction.
• It is necessary for normal cell division, nitrogen metabolism,
and protein formation.
• It is essential for proper cell wall formation.
• It plays an important role in the proper function of cell
membranes and the transport of K to guard cells for the proper
control of internal water balance.
