Cover Crop Inoculant - Pea, Vetch, Bean, and Lentil

Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar vioeae

Legume inoculation is the process of adding commercially available rhizobia bacteria to boost the rate of these nodules which are directly responsible for nitrogen replenishing. Even when planting in ideal fertile and Organic soil, not all soils will have the sufficient rhizobia bacteria to enable the legumes to perform their best.

This current batch of inoculant expires 12/31/2023. Be sure to seal the bag between uses.

Keep in mind that this inoculant contains the strain of rhizobia that will work with Peas, Vetch Seeds, and Lentil Seeds. To inoculate soybean cover crops, you'll need to use Soybean Inoculant. To inoculate Alfalfa and Clover, you'll need to use our Alfalfa/Clover Inoculant. 

There are essentially three reasons why legume cover crop seeds will require artificial inoculation:

• If legume seed being planted has not been sown in the grow space for 3-5 years and the soil may be lacking essential rhizobia.
• If sowing legumes in a field or grow space that has never been tilled or cultivated.
• If legumes have been successfully sown prior, but the crop and subsequent yields did not seem to have benefited much from the legume cover crop.
