Thanks for providing the name of the plant growth stimulant/hormone that is in alfalfa: Triacontonal or Tricontanol.....I'm not sure of the spelling either. That is what is destroyed by the heat process used in forming raw alfalfa into pellets. I give my newly planted seedlings a big boost by mixing a bag of alfalfa meal and a bag a greensand into the soil before planting my little seedlings that are started in the house. The Triacontonal promotes rapid growth and increase in seedlings....gets them off to a fast start. The greensand provides many micronutrients and potash for fast root development, too.
