Inoculants by Crop - JumpStart - Pea/Lentil

JumpStart, the phosphate inoculant, contains the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaii, discovered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It colonizes plant roots and makes the ‘fixed’ mineral forms of less available soil phosphate immediately available for crop use.

JumpStart promotes greater phosphate use efficiency, which results in quick emergence, early vigour, greater stress tolerance, and more even maturity. JumpStart delivers a safe method of supplying phosphate to growing plants and reduces the need to seed-place high rates of fertilizer phosphate with sensitive seed like canola, pea and lentil.

41 pea and lentil trials over 18 years prove the performance of JumpStart.
