Nutrient Requirements:

Approximate nutrient uptake per tonne of dry matter produced:

These figures represent approximate crop nutrient requirements or uptake, not direct fertiliser application rates. Established lucerne can obtain much of its nitrogen through biological fixation.

Planting Note: Treat seeds with a suitable lucerne Rhizobium inoculant before planting where required. Sow into a well-prepared seedbed with adequate soil moisture, ensuring proper irrigation, fertilisation and drainage for optimal establishment and production.
