Inoculant Group B Pea & Vetch

Legume Seed Inoculant – Group B (Pea & Vetch Group)

Inoculant Group B is a specialist rhizobium inoculant designed for vetches, field peas, and related legume species including Common Vetch, Woolly Pod Vetch, Field Peas, Faba Beans, Lentils, and Chickpeas. It promotes strong root nodulation and efficient biological nitrogen fixation, helping plants establish quickly while reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilisers.

When applied to seed before sowing, the beneficial bacteria (Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae) colonise the developing roots and form nodules that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-available form. This supports vigorous early growth, improved biomass production, and enhanced soil fertility for subsequent crops.

How to Use

Lightly moisten seed with clean water or a mild sticking solution. Add the inoculant and mix thoroughly until all seeds are evenly coated. Sow treated seed as soon as possible after application. Keep inoculated seed out of direct sunlight and excessive heat, as the living bacteria are sensitive to drying and UV exposure.

For best results, use Inoculant Group B in soils where compatible legumes have not been grown recently, and avoid mixing inoculated seed with fertilisers or chemical seed treatments.
