Inoculants by Crop - JumpStart - Pea/Lentil
It is a well known fact that pulse crops require phosphorus to support healthy growth, hasten maturity and support nitrogen fixation.
Nitrogen: Peas and lentils inoculated with a nitrogen inoculant should not require nitrogen fertilizer, as they can fix up to 70-80% of their nitrogen needs. The other 20-30% will usually be made available through nitrogen present in the soil and by mineralization throughout the growing season but special care is still required to ensure adequate phosphate fertility.
Phosphate: Both peas and lentils are very sensitive to seed-placed fertilizer. Under good moisture conditions only 15 lbs/ac of actual phosphate can be safely seed-placed with peas, 20 lbs/ac with lentils. This assumes good to excellent soil moisture, a one inch spread to the fertilizer and a 9 inch row spacing. Inoculating with the phosphate inoculant JumpStart can be a very easy and effective way to supply additional phosphate. Use JumpStart and give your crop early access to phosphate for quick emergence, early plant vigour, larger root system and greater yields.
