Nodulation No-Show? Tips for a Rescue N App

Ensuring adequate nodulation starts with choosing the correct inoculant, keeping it alive prior to seeding and getting good coverage or placement.

In this Pulse School, Ken Coles, with Farming Smarter at Lethbridge, Alta., runs through all the reasons that nodulation may fail, when a rescue application can work and the two strategies for minimizing nitrogen losses if you decide to pull the trigger on an N application.
