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. Allthough not regulated in the US, the generally accepted  standards 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.

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 sister company’s 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.
