Inoculant Application (2 of 2)
Methods of Application
A) Calculate the quantities of materials needed for different legumes. The quantities required will vary with the size of the seed.
B) Mix the peat culture with pre-prepared adhesive making sure the solution has been cooled first.
C) Pour this mixture over the seed and stir until all the seeds are wet.
D) Add immediately the required amount of finely ground limestone and mix until the seeds are evenly coated and well pelleted. Cease mixing as soon as the pellet has been formed.
The adhesive used in pelleting provides some protection for the bacteria from the harmful effects of high temperatures and the drying associated with storage and dry sowing. However, it is best to inoculate seed as close as possible to sowing. Ideally, it should be sown into moist soil immediately.
