Overview

Grow More

Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover is an inoculant formulated to assist in establishing and maintaining good plant stand. Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover contains a specially formulated blend of Excalibre™ Alfalfa/Clover Inoculant plus SabrEx™ Root Inoculant formulated in a talc-graphite carrier.

Rhizobium

Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover inoculant is a proprietary formulation containing the Sinorhizobium melilotii Rhizobium species. Alfalfa is a legume crop that, like soybeans, requires the process of nodulation for healthy plant growth. The rhizobium will fix nitrogen after becoming established inside the root nodules.

iGET™ Technology

The SA means that ABM has also added our proprietary, patent pending Trichoderma strain found in SabrEx™ root inoculant. Trichoderma has been shown to be beneficial in alfalfa production.

Over Treat Pre-Inoculated Alfalfa

Our research has shown that one-year-old pre-inoculated alfalfa seed yielded 3% less on the first cutting and 5% less on the second cutting when compared to the same inoculated seed “over treated” with fresh Graph-Ex SA™ for ALfalfa/Clover. Even more impressive, 4-year-old, pre-inoculated alfalfa seed yielded 15% less on the first cutting and 17% less on the second cutting compared to the same inoculated seed “over treated” with fresh Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover.

Applications

Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover is an inoculant formulated to assist in establishing and maintaining good plant stand. Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover contains a specially formulated blend of Alfalfa/Clover Inoculant plus SabrEx™ Root Inoculant formulated in a talc/graphite carrier.

Application Rate:

2 oz. per 50 lbs. of Alfalfa/Clover seed.
One 4 oz. package treats 100 lbs of Alfalfa/Clover seed.
Refer to the Graph-Ex SA™ for Alfalfa/Clover label for specific rates and directions for use.

Planter Box Application Method:

Sprinkle over seed and mix until seed is completely covered. Ensure that the inoculant is evenly dispersed. Larger seed quantities may require a layered application in the planter box. It is best to treat and mix seed in 50 lb. increments. Plant within 72 hours of application. DO NOT EXCEED 72 hours without re-inoculating the seed.

Adverse Conditions and Virgin Land:

To maximize yield potential: ABM recommends a double (2x) inoculant rate when planting under the following soil conditions:

  1. Soil that has not hosted the specific legume for more than 3 years.
  2. Soil pH of less than 5.8 or greater than 8.5
  3. Organic matter less than 1%
  4. Drought or flooding
  5. Soil Temperatures exceeding 80 degrees F
  6. Eroded soil
  7. Use of soil treatments and chemicals injurious to soil bacteria and inoculants
