Fall Cover Crop Inoculant / Eagle Seed

Overview

> Eagle Seed Fall Cover Crop Inoculant is a multi-strain biological inoculant formulated for fall-planted legume and cover crop systems. It supports biological nitrogen fixation, root development and nutrient uptake to help legumes establish and perform. Why use inoculant on a cover crop? Legumes depend on specific beneficial bacteria to fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant. Inoculation helps ensure the appropriate bacteria are available to establish that relationship, particularly when compatible populations may be limited in the soil. What is in Eagle Seed Cover Crop Inoculant? Eagle Seed Cover Crop Inoculant combines multiple strains of beneficial Rhizobium , along with proprietary endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae, to support root development, nutrient uptake and plant vigor. Does cover crop inoculant add nitrogen to the soil? Inoculant does not simply add nitrogen like a bag of fertilizer. Instead, the appropriate Rhizobium bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with legume roots that allows the plant to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form.
