Foliar Micronutrients, Growth Regulator, Lime and High-Rate Calcium Applications for Alfalfa Production

Authors: Brian J. Lang (Iowa State University) , Kenneth T. Pecinovsky (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Seven treatments applied to alfalfa were compared to evaluate their effect on profitable alfalfa production. Other than meeting the lime requirement based on ISU soil test recommendations, no other treatment added profitability. Research is still limited on defining soil test and plant analysis levels to provide a reasonable probability of an economic return to Boron fertilization of alfalfa.
