Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Boron application increased alfalfa plant boron concentration at both locations.
- Intervention effect Boron fertilization increased yield for the second 2015 cutting at Dillon.
- Intervention effect Boron fertilization did not affect yield in other seasonal cuttings.
- Intervention effect Boron fertilization did not affect total yields in either year or location.
- Association Low initial soil boron was not a reliable indicator for foliar boron need in irrigated alfalfa.
- Recommendation The authors suggest diagnosing boron deficiency signs with in-season petiole boron analysis may better serve producers.
- Recommendation The authors conclude foliar boron fertilization based on low soil boron tests is not beneficial for irrigated alfalfa producers in Montana.
