Inoculants That Will Push Your Soybean Yields

Soybean Fertility

There are multiple biological actives or technologies that improve nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in soybeans. Effective nodulation is essential for nitrogen fixation, particularly in soils where soybeans have not been planted recently.

Phosphate uptake is crucial to the nitrogen fixation process, as proper plant development must take place before the plant can take advantage of the full benefits of nitrogen fixation.

Phosphate fertility programs in soybeans must deal with several challenges that may limit phosphate availability and uptake.

Soybean seed is very sensitive to fertilizer injury from applied phosphate fertilizer. If you are unable to seed-place phosphate effectively, or if you broadcast phosphate before seeding, phosphate-solubilizing inoculants will help make phosphate available to your soybean crop at the critical early-season stage.
Calcareous soils readily tie up phosphate. The phosphate-solubilizing component of our inoculants will help increase phosphate availability of both residual soil phosphate and incorporated phosphate in these types of soils.

Optimize LV is a NEW concentrated formulation soybean inoculant that is retailer-applied to the soybean seed. Optimize LV is a dual-action inoculant delivers the benefits of a specially selected Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculant and LCO technology, helping to improve your crop's potential by enhancing nutrient availability

Benefits of Optimize LV

Greater opportunity for the development of nitrogen-fixing nodules with LCO.
Enhanced nutrient capacity, which supports root and shoot growth.
Lower application rate means more space on seed for other seed treatments.

With Optimize LV, the plant does not need to wait for the LCO signal as it is delivered on the seed, potentially reducing the time required for this process to occur naturally and therefore, accelerating nodulation and nitrogen fixation to the young crop.

Benefits of TagTeam

Improved nodule formation.
Enhanced nutrient availability, which support root and shoot growth.
Improved phosphate availability.
Improved nitrogen fixation.

TagTeam is available for soybeans in granular and liquid formulations to meet your different crop and equipment needs.

Double Inoculate Your Soil To Help Maximize Yield Potential

Land that has been through less than ideal growing conditions, or has not had soybeans for a few years, requires special attention when it comes to inoculation. Double inoculation can help quickly establish high populations of rhizobia bacteria to help ensure the best possible nodulation and soybean performance.

Land with a history of longer soybean rotations, or land with a history of flooding or longer periods of drought, is not conducive to rhizobia survival. It is in these soils that farmers will benefit greatly from the application of two formulations of inoculant. Seed-applied inoculants tend to form nodules closer to where the seed is located (closer to the primary root); in-furrow applied granular inoculants tend to form nodules on the secondary or lateral roots.

Combining the two formulations allows for wider distribution of nodules along the whole root system. For best results, you may apply Optimize LV with Cell-Tech or TagTeam. Consult your local NexusBioAg representative or local retailer for a customized inoculant approach.
