Directions for use

Peat-based Dry Formulations: The peat-based form of America's Best Inoculant® may be applied to seed using one of these three methods of application.

  1. Inoculating as you fill your planter.
    A proportional amount of inoculant can be manually or mechanically introduced to a flowing stream of seed and the process of the seed flowing will evenly disperse the inoculant on the seed.
  2. Sprinkle application.
    Moisten seed in planter box with 3 ounces of water per 50 lbs. of seed. (Sterile form does not require moistening of the seed.) Add one bag of America's Best Inoculant® non-sterile inoculant per 1500 lbs. of seed, or one bag of sterile inoculant per 2000 lbs. seed, and mix until seed is completely covered.

    (Please note: it is best to mix in 50 lb. increments.)

    For best performance, plant seed within 24 hours of application.
  3. Slurry application (outside of planter box).
    Place contents of one bag into 5.5 pints of clean, cool, non-chlorinated water. Mix thoroughly. Then mix thoroughly with 1500 lbs. of soybean seed.

    (Please note: it is best to mix in 50 lb. increments.)

    For best performance, plant seed within 24 hours of application.
