Product Info & Application Guide
Application Tips
- Apply granular inoculant directly in furrow at the specified rate. The product must not be applied at a depth that is less than the planting depth of the seed.
- Remove any unused granules from the hopper box at the end of each day’s planting.
- Do not allow granules to sit in hopper overnight.
- Environmental conditions may affect flowability of the product. Feeding mechanism should be cleaned often to ensure good flow.
When to Apply

Directions for use
Prior to filling the tank
- Check tank seals on each compartment along with all metering components for signs of cracks and wear
- Replace cracked or worn parts
- Ensure that inoculant bags and tank walls are dry prior to filling
- Run fans at the beginning of each day as a precaution to dry any condensation that may have accumulated overnight
- Granular inoculants require a dedicated tank to ensure proper rate application
- Before filling, ensure that the screen at the top of the tank is in place
Filling the tank
- Use loading auger to fill tank and screens provided by equipment manufacturers
- To optimize flow (especially under humid conditions), it is suggested to only fill compartments to no more than 50% capacity
- Do not mix granular inoculant with granular pesticides or fertilizers during planting

Inoculant Myths & Facts: Sweating
If your inoculant sweats, does that mean you need to start sweating? For the answer, watch this humorous video – brought to you by Nodulator® Duo SCG – that dispels this myth about inoculants.
Inoculant Myths & Facts: Clumping
Rumour has it that clumping in an inoculant means the party is over. The good news is that’s all it is – a rumour. Watch this fun video from the makers of Nodulator® Duo SCG, explaining the truth about clumping.
Inoculant Myths & Facts: All the Same?
Another common misconception about inoculants is that they’re all basically the same. This amusing video demonstrates why that’s simply not true. Especially when it comes to Nodulator® Duo SCG.
How Biofilm Works
When pea and lentil growers asked for innovation, we didn't just listen. We delivered. Nodulator Duo SCG provides root-strengthening biofilm bacterium that helps protect the roots from the stresses encountered in the soil to reserve more energy for reproductive (growth) functions.
FAQ
What's the difference between a solid core granular formulation (SCG) and a peat granular formulation?
SCG formulation has technically advanced delivery of the rhizobia through a multi- layered solid core granule, which allows the following:
- Most ideal “housing” for rhizobia
- Maximum survivability
- Increased durability to withstand tough conditions in dry or very wet soils.
- More uniform size
- Dust-free and greater ease of use
- Enhanced placement accuracy
In a peat granular formulation, the rhizobia are placed on the surface of the peat granule, which is exposed to environmental factors such as wind, temperature, humidity and other conditions that can affect the survivability and effectiveness of the rhizobia
Why do I have to inoculate every year?
Inoculating every year provides “affordable” nitrogen (N) helps ensure that rhizobia populations are acceptable for effective nodulation. Wet, cool soil conditions can have a large impact on nodulation. Effective inoculation leads to more uniform/stronger plant growth and maximizes total yield potential (including seed protein/ac). Using an inoculant also provides beneficial aspects with additional benefits derived from added non-rhizobial “biologically-derived” technologies.
