Lockyer valley, QLD, Australia | Ed, I always inoculate any legume i grow. However, I cheat a bit by layering seed and sprinkling inocculant in box of planter, rough I know but I have never had any problems. We only have the peat based stuff, nothing fancy. I seem to be the only one in the area that innoculates though. It is seen as a waste of time/ money. The same people then get upset when their beans don't meet protien req. for edidible trade.
I dont really have a typical rotation. We are fairly intensive in that we double or sometimes triple crop most ground every year, depending on rainfall. At the moment we grow wheat, barley for grain and forage,oats, peas, in cooler months and over summer grow grain and forage sorghum, corn, soy as well as some millet if the market is right. |
