Effect of Boron Fertilization on Alfalfa Production

Effect of Boron Fertilization on Alfalfa Production, 1998 This research in northwestern Montana is evaluating the potential benefits to boron (B) applied across different phosphorus (P) fertility levels for intensively managed irrigated alfalfa. It was initiated in 1997 and will continue through 1999. Annual rates of B at 0, 1, and 2 lb/A are being evaluated across P2O5 rates of 0, 40, and 80 lb/A.
