Directions for use:

Peat-based Dry Formulations
Liquid Formulations
The peat-based form of America's Best InoculantT 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 InoculantT 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 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.

The liquid form of America's Best InoculantT can be applied to seed using one of these three methods. The liquid form can be applied and will not gel at temperatures above 40 degrees.

1) Batch application.
Measure the appropriate amount of America's Best InoculantT for the amount of seed being inoculated. Apply uniformly over the seed and stir until all seeds are coated. Plant seed immediately for optimal performance. Seed must be reinoculated if not planted within 3 days.

2) Bulk and continuous application.
Remove bag from box and attach applicator cap and tubing. Hang bag from loop on bag and apply to seed per instructions inside of box.

3) In-furrow use.
Only use America's Best InoculantT in spray tanks that have been cleaned and are free of all chemical residue. Dilute America's Best InoculantT in non-chorinated water.

Recommended rate of water per acre is 10 to 20 gallons. The 105.82 oz. bladder of America's Best InoculantT will treat 12.5 acres.
