Alfalfa meal is an excellent, fast-acting source of primary nutrients. It is highly recommended for all types of flowering plants as well as all vegetables, herbs and shrubs. It is derived from sun-cured, non-GMO alfalfa that is freshly ground to preserve the highest value of plant nutrients. It naturally contains many essential vitamins including A, D, E, K and the entire family of B vitamins.

Feature

Alfalfa meal releases triacontanol, a potent natural hormone that significantly enhances plant growth. Application of triacontanol shows a significant increase in flowering in many plants.

In addition, alfalfa meal enhances the development of soil microorganisms promoting superior plant growth and increased flowering yield. Plants develop a very extended root system and also a noticeable increase in the thickness and number of leaves.

Application and dosage

The most common way of incorporating it is by applying directly to the ground, being advisable to carry out a superficial burial task.

Fruit trees: Apply 15 to 30 grams in each planting hole prior to transplanting and mix well with the soil. For established plantations, apply 450 grams for every 2.5 cm of trunk diameter, distributed among the root influence zone and water well.

Orchards and small gardens: To prepare new orchards, apply 2 to 4 kilos for every 30 square meters and mix thoroughly on top (5-7 cm of soil). For new transplants, add 15 to 30 grams per hole, mix into the soil and water well. To feed established plants, apply 25 to 50 grams, depending on plant size and desired growth rate, once a month during the growth phase.

Containers: For new plantings, add 5 to 10 grams per liter of substrate and mix well. To feed established plants, apply 5 grams per liter of substrate to the soil surface once a month during the growing season.

Dosage: 

It is advisable to always add it together with organic matter (worm humus, seaweed bokashi) since it contains organic colloids and also apply with microorganisms, since they help the release of minerals.
