## Description

desertcart.com : Legume Powder Inoculant - Natural Cover Crop Seed Inoculant for Legume Seeds - 10 Oz Bag - Powder Rhizobia Inoculant for Cover Crop Hairy Vetch, Lentil Seeds, Fava Beans, Broad Bean, Garden Pea : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Must use for lentil seeds - The germination on my first pea planting was not good. It was in a new raised bed and I didn't do enough homework. I just did a late summer planting and soaking the seeds in this innoculant made a huge difference in germination and growth. I'm in zone 4A Idaho at high elevation and germination and quick growth are very crucial.
Review: Fabulous Results! - Fantastic results! Nearly all of my seeds sprouted and are doing well. I planted 72 asst green/lima beans and 68 sprouted. Of the ones that failed they were all the same strain therefore I would lay blame for the failure to sprout on the seeds I used. Last year I did not use any inoculant and was not very successful sprouting or producing. So, after comparing to 2 years, I expect to be using this product from now on for all of my legumes. I will try to remember to post a follow-up (if possible) regarding the harvest although many other factors are involved in production. Having said that, it seems an inoculant gives them the leg up needed to prepare one for increased success.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how should this product be stored?**
A: Most inoculants are designed to last one year from date of sale. I personally use it the following year. ( I hate wasting anything). I will keep it in a cool dark place till time for planting again. Beans and peas actually don't need inoculated as long as your soil has plenty of nitrogen in it through amending the soil yearly which we do. On this day, 10/20/21, I am actually going to my garden to pick green & yellow beans. 65º daytime and 45º at night . I probably will have a couple more picks if the weather allows. Good luck.

**Q: does this work for pigeon peas, Cajanus Cajun?**
A: More looking on the internet has revealed that this inoculant producer, has, at least three different types of legume inoculant; this one for beans and peas, one for alfalfa and clover, and the third for soybeans. It sure would be easier if we knew which species of Rhizobia were included in each of these products.

**Q: Will this inoculate work for alfalfa?**
A: This is designed to use with members of the pea family. It is a symbiotic relationship between the plant and the bacteria. Alfalfa is in that family so it should respond positively to being inoculated.

**Q: What is the expiration date of legume powder inoculant - cover crop seed inoculant for legume seeds?**
A: None on the package. Seems like the ad I ordered from had fairly soon.
