## Description

Mountain Valley Seed Company cover crop seed inoculant is a reliable and safe powder inoculant full of essential rhizobia bacteria for peas, lentils, and vetch cover crops to increase the transfer of nitrogen back into depleted soils. Legume cover crops are vital to both home gardens and commercial farming because they repair damaged and depleted soils between growing seasons for future crops to offer more abundant harvests while minimizing weeds, erosion, and soil-borne diseases. Although legume crops naturally perform this on their own, the rhizobia bacteria from the inoculant increases nodules on the roots that are more receptive to nitrogen fixation within the soil. Legume inoculation is the process of adding commercially available rhizobia bacteria to boost the rate of these nodules which are directly responsible for nitrogen replenishing. Even when planting in ideal fertile and organic soil, not all soils will have the sufficient rhizobia bacteria to enable the legumes to perform their best. There are essentially three reasons why legume cover crop seeds will require artificial inoculation: 1. If legume seed being planted has not been sown in the grow space for 3-5 years and the soil may be lacking essential rhizobia. 2. If sowing legumes in a field or grow space that has never been tilled or cultivated. 3. If legumes have been successfully sown prior, but the crop and subsequent yields did not seem to have benefited much from the legume cover crop. Inoculate Pea, Lentil, and Vetch Legume Seeds in 4 Easy Steps: 1. Pour the desired amount of legume seed in a large mixer, bucket, or container 2. Pour water into the mixer and mix to moisten seeds so inoculant can stick to seeds. 3. Pour the amount of inoculant needed into the container and mix thoroughly. 4. Plant seeds within 12 hours before the inoculant wears off.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how should this product be stored?**
A: Most inoculants are designed to last one year from date of sale. I personally use it the following year. ( I hate wasting anything). I will keep it in a cool dark place till time for planting again. Beans and peas actually don't need inoculated as long as your soil has plenty of nitrogen in it through amending the soil yearly which we do. On this day, 10/20/21, I am actually going to my garden to pick green & yellow beans. 65º daytime and 45º at night . I probably will have a couple more picks if the weather allows. Good luck.

**Q: does this work for pigeon peas, Cajanus Cajun?**
A: More looking on the internet has revealed that this inoculant producer, has, at least three different types of legume inoculant; this one for beans and peas, one for alfalfa and clover, and the third for soybeans. It sure would be easier if we knew which species of Rhizobia were included in each of these products.

**Q: Will this inoculate work for alfalfa?**
A: This is designed to use with members of the pea family. It is a symbiotic relationship between the plant and the bacteria. Alfalfa is in that family so it should respond positively to being inoculated.

**Q: What is the expiration date of legume powder inoculant - cover crop seed inoculant for legume seeds?**
A: None on the package. Seems like the ad I ordered from had fairly soon.
