Inoculant by Crop - TagTeam - Dry Bean
TagTeam is the world’s first MultiAction inoculant. It is composed of two micro-organisms - a naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaii for better use of soil and fertilizer phosphate and a superior Rhizobium bacteria strain for nitrogen fixation. Balanced nutrition of phosphate and nitrogen is necessary to maximize pulse crop yields. The synergy of the two micro-organisms working together results in the highest net returns of any inoculant. The multi-action synergy also delivers better results than using a single-action Rhizobium inoculant plus phosphate fertilizer and is a lot more convenient to use.
TagTeam dry bean combines a high performing Rhizobium phaseoli strain with the phosphate solubilizing organism found in JumpStart for 1 + 1 = 3 performance on dry bean. Dry beans do not fix as much nitrogen as other pulse crops but can still fix up to 50% of their nitrogen requirements. Split-field farmer done trials showed an average yield increase of 6% when using TagTeam on dry beans.
