The Value of 120-Day-On-Seed Inoculant
Spring is springing early this year, and many farmers are already prepping their soybean seeds. Regardless of your seed treatment plan, adding inoculant is a relatively cheap way to boost your yields and increase your ROI.
With unpredictable weather patterns this time of year, UAS recommends choosing an inoculant with a lifespan of 120 days on seed. Here’s why…
The Importance of a 120-Day On-Seed Lifespan
While early seed treatment offers a head start, the risk of a late frost lingers. Choosing an inoculant with a 120-day on-seed live rhizobia lifespan guarantees these beneficial bacteria survive unexpected cold snaps and remain readily available for your soybean plants when needed. This extended lifespan provides crucial insurance for your crop's success.
Why Inoculation Matters
Soybeans, like other legumes, rely on a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria. These beneficial bacteria take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a usable form for the plant, stored in nitrogen-rich nodules on the roots. This translates to healthier, more robust soybean plants—true nutrient-rich powerhouses.
uas: A HIGHER STANDARD FOR SOYBEAN INOCULANTS
Before you purchase an inoculant, it’s important to understand how its effectiveness is measured. Currently, there are no regulations in the U.S. when it comes to inoculant efficacy. In other words, companies can make misleading claims about how much rhizobia (nitrogen-producing bacteria) are on their inoculants, and the customer would never know.
We live by higher standards. UAS abides by Canadian inoculant efficacy benchmarks—100,000 live rhizobia on the seed at time of planting. This honest, research-based approach bolsters trust and ensures our customers are getting what they pay for. It’s just one more way we do business differently.
