Pulse crop inoculants are necessary for the plants to get sufficient Rhizobium bacteria needed for nitrogen fixation. Without sufficient Rhizobium bacteria in the soil, nodulation won’t be as successful and yields will be lower. Inoculation of pulses is done either by treating the soil with liquid or dry inoculants or by directly applying a liquid or powder-based inoculant to the seed. When applied correctly, pulse plants will receive the necessary bacteria for nitrogen fixation. Double inoculation using liquid, powder or granular products can produce higher yields. Keep in mind that different types of pulse crops require different types of Rhizobium species for nodulation.
