Inoculant for beans and peas are bacteria laid out in formulations containing rhizobia strains that form symbiotic associations with plants such as beans and peas. These bacteria penetrate the root of the plant and take part in the process of nitrogen fixation, which means that the bacteria convert nitrogen gas into a state that the plant can absorb.
Nitrogen Fixation
The remarkable bacteria that are Rhizobia have a nitrogenase enzyme capable of turning nitrogen from the air (N2) into ammonia (NH3) through a nitrogen fixation process. This extension of the root nodule allows the plant to fix atmospheric nitrogen, a process usually done by microorganisms.
Benefits for Beans and Peas
Inoculation of beans and peas offers a range of advantages. It allows the release of ammonium compounds into the elementary nitrogen that stimulates growth and the development of plants healthily. This ensures an organic source of nitrogen and the plants’ independence from synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, which could eventually mean a reduction in production costs.
Application Methods
Inoculants creep on soybean and pea seeds before planting them. This can be performed by dusting inoculant powder on the seeds or by soaking the seeds in a liquid inoculant solution.
Considerations and Compatibility
It is also essential to purchase the right bacteria strains that can work effectively with different cultivars of peas and beans. It is advisable to include medium conditions such as the pH of the soil, soil temperature, and moisture levels to achieve more significant success.
