Agronomy Facts 11: Inoculation of Forage and Grain Legumes
Legumes have the ability to form a mutually beneficial relationship with certain soil bacteria. The benefit to the plant is that these bacteria can take nitrogen from the air and make it available to the plant. This fact sheet describes the inoculation process to ensure Rhizobia bacteria growth for nitrogen fixation.
