What is it?
|
A balanced blend containing minerals, microbes, P.K.S and trace
elements that are known to assist in improving Lucerne
productivity and disease resistance.
|
|
What does it do?
|
Generally: promotes stronger, more robust root systems whist
enhancing the utilisation of irrigation and rainfall more efficiently.
Increase root structure promote higher organic matter levels in the
soil profile.
Increases yield due to the improved health of the plant and
enhanced nutrient uptake.
Reduces yield losses due to insect presence, yellowing of stems
and leaf loss.
|
|
Where and when to use it?
|
On all Lucerne stands, where crops struggle to reach their full
potential. Apply as soon as possible after cutting and baling.
Note: Full benefits are seldom realised on the next cut.
|
|
How often do you use it?
|
As often as necessary, depending on your crop's performance.
Identifiable through soil and leaf testing. Rates of 400 kg/ha after
every 3rd cut has consistently improved Lucerne productivity.
|
|
Application Rates
|
Rates are determined by current soil tests (within last 6 months)
