Microbial inoculants that promote crop yield through biostimulation and biofertilization are an important tool to advancing sustainable agricultural practices The most prevalent commercial inoculants are rhizobia, which provide nitrogen fixation capabilities to pulse and soybean crops A key…
We evaluated a microbial inoculant containing a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Gluconoacetobacter diazotrophicus) for its ability to biologically fix N for wheat, soybean and canola Three inoculation methods were tested: direct application to the seed, foliar inoculation; and soaking the…
Research has shown that the variability in crop yield response to seeding date can often be attributed to environmental conditions experienced by the crop at important developmental or physiological stages, which vary with year and location Producers would benefit in better understanding the effect…
