Granular Garden Soil Inoculant is designed to improve yields for legume vegetable crops including English peas, bush beans, pole beans, and lima beans. It will also improve the nitrogen-fixing ability of legume cover crops like clover, chickpeas and sunn hemp. This formulation is in a granular, easy-to-use form that can simply be sprinkled on top of your garden soil and lightly incorporated. To apply, simply sprinkle the granules along the row with the seed being planted. See usage rates below.
Granular Garden Soil Inoculant places enhance bacteria populations in the soil to help nitrogen-fixing plants fix more nitrogen. Each package contains billions of live bacteria that are essential to the nitrogen-fixing process of vegetable and cover crop plants. The bacteria work to actively convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. This allows vegetable plants to make their own nitrogen, and allows cover crops to increase the amount of stored nitrogen that is available to the following vegetable crop.
Legume plants have the unique ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen by means of bacteria which live in symbiosis on the nodules of their roots. There are numerous species of these bacteria and each has the ability to nodulate different host plants. This distribution over the seed will ensure effective nodulation and thus the process of nitrogen fixation by the host plant.
An inoculant has selected strains of nitrogen fixing bacteria mixed with a peat humus carrier. The granular inoculant is sprinkled into the seed row of garden legumes. When the bacteria are deposited into the soil, they begin to multiply. As the seed sprouts, plant roots grow into the soil. Eventually the introduced bacteria come in contact with a plant root. There is an infection termed a “nodule.” The nodule is colonized by the bacteria and nitrogen fixation begins.
