NITROGEN FIXING INOCULANTS
|
LEGUME COVER CROPS CAN UTILIZE SPECIFIC BACTERIA TO SUPPLY THE NITROGEN NEEDS OF SUCCEEDING CROPS BY FIXED NITROGEN FROM THE AIR. THE ROOT HAIRS SEED OUT SPECIFIC STAINS OF RHIZOBIA BACTERIA AND SURROND THE BACTERIA TO FORM A NODULE. WHEN THEY DON'T ENCOUNTER AN IDEAL BACTERIAL MATCH THEY WORK WITH THE BEST THEY CAN FIND, BUT DON'T PRODUCE NEARLY AS MUCH NITROGEN.
PERENNIAL LEGUMES FIX NITROGEN ANY TIME DURING ACTIVE GROWTH, WHILE ANNUAL LEGUMES FIXATION PEAKS AT FLOWERING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MATCH THE MOST EFFECIENT RHIZOBIA BACTERIA WITH THE LEGUME COVER CROP COAT THE SEED WITH FRESH INOCULANT, UTILIZING SLURRY OF NON-CHLORINATED WATER, STICKING AGENT, MINERAL OIL, MILK ECT. AND DRY COATED SEED BEFORE PLANTING. REINOCULATE THE SEED IF NOT PLANTED WITHIN 24 HOURS .
CHECK ON NODULATION; BY CAREFULLY REMOVING THE PLANT FROM THE GROUND WITH A SHOVEL. (PULLING PLANT OUT OF THE GROUND STRIPES NODULES.) SLICE OPEN THE NODULES, A PINK COLORED INTERIOR INDICATES ACTIVE NITROGEN FIXATION.
