Producer inoculant purchase and management decisions

It is your right as a primary producer to have confidence that the product you are purchasing is fit for the intended purpose. It is worthwhile taking an additional five minutes in store to ask the critical questions. It is then worth the extra care and attention to ensure you maintain the integrity of your purchase through to application. Remember, rhizobia are living organisms and need to stay viable throughout every step.
