northeastern Ohio | The key to virgin ground it to maximize the rhizobia per seed. For virgin ground, I like to see about 2 million rhizobia per seed.
A regular liquid innoculant will achieve about 1 million rhizobia per seed at the labeled rate. You cannot double the amount of liquid or you will have a big sticky mess.
A sterile peat innoculant will also have about 1 million rhizobia per seed at the labeled rate. You can double innoculate and get to the 2 million per seed.
A regular humus (non-sterile) will only have about 300,000 rhizobia per seed at the label rate. You would need to apply 7 times the regular label rate to get to 2 million. I would not recommend.
There are some high concentrate liquid innoculants that have a very low use rate. You can safely apply double (2 million rhizobia per seed) or even triple (3 million) without getting into a sticky mess. Here is an example of a high concentrate liquid called MegaPack: http://innoculant.com/product.sc;jsessionid=6A2D788F72CA6CAFCACF30C... | |
