RHIZOSEAL® and
RHIZOSEAL® PREMIUM

Inoculation is the introduction of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobium) onto legume seed. These bacteria invade the root hairs and form nodules which convert essential nitrogen from the atmosphere into a form beneficial to plants.

Time after time, RHIZOSEAL® and RHIZOSEAL® PREMIUM  prove that they are  the superior pre-inoculation process for forage legumes. Although the CFIA’s  standard for pre-inoculated forage legumes is 1,000 viable  bacteria per seed, our quality control program often shows RHIZOSEAL®  and RHIZOSEAL® PREMIUM maintaining an average count well in excess of this standard.

 To the alfalfa field planted with properly inoculated seed, the net benefit can be between 100 and 200lb of nitrogen per acre per year.

For the producer this means better establishment rates and higher yields which increase profits.

RHIZOSEAL® is the result of research initiated in New Zealand in 1984 and completed in Canada in 1990. Our North Battleford research team developed the unique pre-inoculation process, which gives RHIZOSEAL® unsurpassed rhizobial survival properties.  Further research with RHIZOSEAL® coupled with new technology  enabled us to combine our unique pre-inoculation process with the many benefits of the fungicide Apron® XL resulting in the release of RHIZOSEAL® PREMIUM in 2001.

This revolutionary technology will ensure that the RHIZOSEAL® products will continue to be the norm for legume pre-inoculation requirements in the future.
