Alfalfa.

Stand longevity, ton after ton.

Alfalfa demands a calcium-saturated, well-buffered soil to fix nitrogen efficiently and hold a stand for 4–5 years. Our program focuses on Pro-Cal foundation, deep P-K with 3-18-18+, and sulfur + boron through the growing season.

01 / Growers running this program

Texas · 2021

"We got a ¾ ton increase on this year's first cut of alfalfa. We got more from this first cutting than we did from cuttings 4–6 last year. Just using Nitro-Maxx+."

— Wesley +¾ ton on first cut

Texas · 2024

"We have never had alfalfa production like that before. One cutting we waited a little too long and almost couldn't cut it — it was so thick and intertwined with each other."

— Brad Heaviest stand ever

Iowa · 2023

"I applied 3 gallons of Pro-Cal on my alfalfa ground in test strips early spring and you can tell a night-and-day difference. The ground I treated is thicker and much taller than the ground I didn't."

— Sam Thicker, taller stand

From emergence to harvest: one plan, stage by stage.

The whole alfalfa season up top, then the general program below. Every pass is shown at the exact stage it targets, so the picture and the plan line up.

Read this first

This is a general roadmap, not an exact prescription for your farm. No two fields, soil tests, planting dates, or seasons line up the same way, so your stages, rates, and timing will differ. Treat the timeline below as the shape of the program; we size the exact stack and pin every pass to your soil test and your acres.

Each pass has a window. Hit it and it pays; miss it and the dollar's mostly spent.

What's driving the response

Calcium + base sat

Pro-Cal raises Ca base sat above 65%, which keeps the nitrogen-fixing nodules working.

Ortho P + K

3-18-18+ is built for legumes. Drives root depth + crown vigor.
