Inoculants by Crop - JumpStart - Dry Bean

Dry beans are very sensitive to seed-placed fertilizer so any added fertilizer must be banded or broadcast.  Phosphate fertilizer is immobile in the soil meaning roots must grow to the fertilizer in order to have access to it.

JumpStart can supply phosphate to the plant by making residual phosphate present in the soil immediately available for plant uptake.  This means the crop does not have to wait until it grows to the fertilizer band to have access to phosphate.  JumpStart can make the equivalent of 10-15 lbs/ac of P2O5 available to the crop.

JumpStart Application

JumpStart is sold as a wettable powder that is mixed into water and applied to the seed prior to seeding.
