Agronomy Notes
The need for boron (B) fertilization of alfalfa has been known for many years. An annual application of 1.5 to 2.0 ·pounds of elemental B per acre on alfalfa has been the general recommendation of the University of Kentucky's, Department of Agronomy for at least 20 years. Most states surrounding Kentucky have similar recommendations; however, some indicate that B needs to be applied only once every two years. There has been very little recent research to verify the need for B on alfalfa.
