| KEY BENEFITS | |
5-8-8 is specially formulated for alfalfa and nitrogen fixing plants. Yield, relative feed value (RFV), protein and fiber content and other valuable components are essential for alfalfa crops. 5-8-8 is a foliar fertilizer with a balanced phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen content containing high levels of trace nutrients, iron, copper, boron, molybdenum and cobalt. It is an ideal product to enhance plant growth and development.
5-8-8 is recommended to be applied at any cycle of the growing season, before 1st crop cutting and after each additional cutting to enhance the yield and RFV/ Protein of the crop.

Benefits of 5-8-8
- Potassium is required in high amounts for its many functions in plants. Over 40 enzymes require it for their activity. In addition, potassium is essential for the control of the stomata and thus is important in maintaining turgidity of plants and photosynthetic activity. Potassium is present in the readily usable organic acid form.
- Nitrogen is required for the over-all growth and development of the plant. Important components like amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, etc all contain nitrogen.
- Phosphorus is readily absorbed by the plant cells and is required for energy processes in the cells of plants.
- Molybdenum, Iron, Copper and Boron are contained in this product, which are all essential for good plant growth and development.
- Molybdenum is required for the conversion of nitrates to amino acids and protein. Molybdenum is essential for nitrogen fixation that occurs in plants like alfalfa or microorganisms.
- Boron is required for hormone maintenance and carbohydrate conversion or translocation.
- Iron is essential for chlorophyll formation. Iron is also required by the plant for many metabolic roles including nitrate reduction, nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis. Iron is an activator and component for many enzymes that control plant respiration.
| APPLICATION GUIDE |
ADD WATER FIRST TO TANK OR SPRAYER BEFORE ADDING PRODUCT!
For AERIAL APPLICATIONS: Use at least 20 parts water to 1 part of ORION fertilizer. Add at least 20 parts water before introducing product.
For FOLIAR APPLICATIONS: Use at least 100 parts water to 1 part ORION Fertilizer. Add at least 50 parts of water before introducing product.
ALFALFA: Apply 4 - 6 quarts of Alfalfa Blend at early stages of growth and after each cutting.
FIELD AND VEGETABLE CROPS: Apply 0.5 - 1.5 quarts per acre.
GRAIN CROPS: Apply 0.5 - 1.5 quarts per acre at 3-4 leaf stage.
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION: Apply 1-3 quarts per acre with irrigation water. Use check valve to prevent back flow into water system.
SOIL APPLICATION RATES: Use at least 20 parts water to 1 part ORION fertilizer. Do not apply directly to seeds unless it has been determined/tested by the consultant or grower that it is not harmful or injurious to the seed.
