Seed Inoculants

Boosting Yields in Good or Poor Soil Conditions

Inoculating soybean seed helps achieve higher yields. This holds true even when inoculants are used in fields with ideal soil conditions. So how does inoculation work? In short, inoculation boosts yield, because it ensures the early formation of effective nodules and an ample supply of nitrogen for developing plants. By adding large numbers of superior nitrogen-fixing bacteria, known as Rhizobia, to the seedlings' root zone, you maximize the nitrogen-fixing potential of your crop. Since nitrogen fixation is a process that converts atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for your plants, the rate of growth is proportional to the amount of fixed nitrogen.

By increasing the amount of nitrogen fixed by your soybean plants, inoculation also eliminates the need to apply commercial nitrogen sources during the growth state—saving you both time and money later on.
