Watch this video together with the Ohio State April 2018 video and take note a couple of key observations: some cover crop species are still waking up and there are marked differences in weed control.

Watch this video together with the Ohio State May 2018 video and take note a couple of key observations: some cover crop species are still waking up and there are marked differences in weed control.

Watch this video in tandem with the Ohio State videos of April and May 2018, one can clearly appreciate that location makes a difference. Winter active varieties and species thrive in South Carolina.

By ensuring proper inoculation, Nitro-Coated® legumes are positioned to produces strong healthy plants full of protein for increased animal gains and forage performance.

When planting legumes for cover crops, usually the purpose is to gain some free nitrogen. Ensuring those legume seeds are properly inoculated is essential. Dr. Bouton explains why Nitro-Coat® is the ideal way to do this.

Nitro-Coat® offers a high number of rhizobium next to the seed to maximize proper inoculation. With proper inoculation, legumes can achieve their maximum yield and potential to capture nitrogen.

Dr. Bouton explains why inoculation is all the more important when using improved legumes so as to obtain the maximum potential return.

When using coated seed, does a farmer need to change the seeding rate? Dr. Bouton explains why the answer is usually no.

Dr. Bouton addresses the question of potential problems with using pre-inoculated seed.

Is it better to inoculate seed manually or buy it pre-inoculated and coated? Dr. Bouton compares the two choices.

Dr. Bouton helps us see that farmers have valued the need for inoculating seed even before they understood the process.

Dr. Bouton answers the fundamental question and explains the opportunity cost of not inoculating compared to the potential gains when legumes are properly inoculated.
