Can I mix peat granule inoculant with fertilizer?
There is no recommendation for mixing an inoculant with fertilizer. Studies have shown that under good environmental conditions there may be opportunity to mix fertilizer and granular inoculant. These opportunities will be discussed during the presentation. There is no data to indicate that mixing fertilizer and granular inoculant will be effective where environmental stresses occur, consequently, there is a great risk of mixing these two products unless the conditions in the two week period around seeding are known or if it is known that environmental stresses exist such as low soil pH. What impact do high yields of field pea yields have on subsequent spring wheat crops? The trials from Indian Head showed that the field pea grain yields of the granular peat inoculant yielded 4000 kg/ha versus 3000 kg/ha for the uninoculated check in 1996 yet the yields of spring wheat were the same the following year. In 1997, the field pea yields for the granular inoculant were 2622 kg/ha while the u
