What makes the Nitro-Coat® process superior to other ways of applying inoculant?

There are two ways to inoculate seed. The first is conducted on-site just prior to planting. It is inefficient, messy, and has a high risk of failure. Experience shows this method to have limited success. The second method is pre-inoculation of the seed during seed packaging. This method has the potential to be much more successful than the on-site method and that is why the practice is now more common than on-site inoculating.

What sets Nitro-Coat® apart from other pre-inoculation operations is a unique process that focuses on two key components, maximizing live Rhizobium and coating durability. From the very inception and development of the Nitro-Coat® facility and process, these two essential components of success direct the process and the product. Our on-site lab, quality control process, experienced technicians, and state-of-the-art equipment, provide consistent high, live Rhizobium encased in a durable coating package. The end result is high-performing legumes that are easily sown and establish strong with high nodulation rates. The Nitro-Coat® process is uniquely designed, equipped, and operated to ensure a consistent, high level of live Rhizobium and seed durability.
