Nutrient Management for Alfalfa Grown on Acid, Hilly Regions of Chongqing.

Researchers found that the optimal fertilizer treatment for alfalfa production in the hilly areas within Chongqing, China included not only N, P, and K, but also Mg - at a frequency of once every 2 or 3 years. While not impacting yield, inclusion of Mo in the balanced, optimal treatment may result in cases of higher crude protein and enhanced palatability of alfalfa forage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
