Inoculants available from Christie Farms

Inoculants are bacterial cultures of Rhizobia that colonize the roots of legumes and create root nodules where nitrogen fixation occurs. If your soil doesn't have the specific strain of Rhizobia for the legume you plant, nitrogen fixation ability of the plant may be compromised. Each species of legume requires a different strain of Rhizobia for proper inoculation.

Inoculants are added to the seed when planting to ensure bacterial colonization immediately. Usually, the seed is wetted slightly, the inoculant added, and then the seed dried before planting.

We sell inoculants specific to the species of legume we sell. The inoculants we use are a bacterial suspension in a peat-moss/soil mixture. They are non-GMO and all natural; however, they are not certified organic.

Our inoculants are made by Tom Wacek at Plant Probiotics. We encourage you to purchase directly from him.
