Benefits of Nodulator LQ
- Nodulator liquid inoculant contains Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a natural microorganism that is beneficial to plants.
- The rhizobia help to increase nodulation resulting in increased fixation of nitrogen for higher yield and protein potential.
- This product is guaranteed to contain a minimum of 3 x 109 viable cells of Bradyrhizobium japonicum per gram.
Product Info & Application Guide
Application Tips
- Store product below 20ºC. Do not freeze.
- Only use product that has been stored correctly.
- Once opened, use inoculant within 24 hours.
- Use before expiration date and only on soybeans.
- Protect inoculated seed from high temperatures, sunlight or drying winds.
- Avoid contact with caustic fertilizers.
- If seed is not planted within 10 days from inoculation, the seed must be re-inoculated.
- This inoculant is compatible with most seed treatments. Please see respective product label for further information.

How Much to Apply
Liquid formulation: One case will treat 165.2 bushels, 4,500 kg (9,840 lb) of seed, using 75 ml of inoculant per 27.2 kg (1 bushel) of seed.
Grain auger output depends on the speed and diameter of auger used. Estimate your auger flow then use this chart to determine the flow valve setting that matches your auger output:

FAQ
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. Soybean rhizobia are not naturally occuring in western Canadian soils. Remaining populations from previous crop years may become inefficient over time. 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.
Can Nodulator be used in organic production?
Some Nodulator products are approved for organic use. Consult the Letter of Organic Certification to find out which products can be used.
