Whether you just received your inoculant, or if you’re storing extra inoculant from last year, here are optimum storage conditions for rhizobium inoculant viability.
Inoculants should be kept in a temperature-controlled environment and protected from fluctuating temperatures.
During extreme cold temps, inoculants are susceptible to freeze/thaw cycles, which are detrimental to rhizobium viability.
