Nodulator SCG
Superior granular formulation designed for performance.
- Technologically advanced multi-layered granular carrier for rhizobia
- Engineered to deliver more viable rhizobia directly where needed most
- Durable, uniformly sized, dust-free formulation for ease of use
- Nodulator® SCG inoculant contains Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a highly efficient, more active strain of rhizobium, selected to perform on soybeans for increased yield potential.
- The rhizobia help to maximize nodulation resulting in increased fixation of nitrogen for higher yield and protein potential regardless of seeding conditions.

Product Info & Application Guide
Application Tips
- Recommended for air seeders with application directly in furrow at time of seeding.
- Do not mix granular inoculant with granular pesticides or fertilizers during planting.
- Remove any unused granules from the hopper box at the end of each day's planting.
- Do not allow granules to sit in a hopper overnight.
- Environmental conditions may affect flowability of the product. Regularly check metering system to ensure proper flow.

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. 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.
How long before seeding should I apply the inoculant?
With no seed treatment, liquid inoculant on-seed survivability is six hours. With no seed treatment, self-adhering peat on-seed survivability is 24 hours, with optimal results when application is within 4-6 hours of inoculation. Please see compatibility charts for more specific timelines when applying these products with a seed treatment.
