To investigate emerging grain legume inoculant technologies.
The 2006 field trials have again shown that there is a place for new carrier products of root nodule bacteria in our systems, which could be of great benefit to the farmer. These new products in most cases performed as well as the traditional peat slurry carrier. The introduction of these new products offers producers an opportunity to choose the type of delivery system which best suits their business and budget.
