Abstract

Foliar fertilisation is part of the conventional fertilisation integrated system in crops. Foliar fertilisers, due to the large number of macro-elements and microelements that make up their chemical composition, play an important role in plant nutrition ensuring high quality yields. This paper presents the differentiated effect of applying foliar fertilisers on alfalfa depending on application time after mowing.
