Open the inoculant sachet, sprinkle on the moistened seeds and mix thoroughly, ensuring that all the seeds are effectively covered with the inoculant.

Important:• Use the right inoculant for the right legume. For instance, do not apply bean inoculant on soybean seed.• Inoculant contains living organisms that must be protected from heat and sun. Therefore always store the package in a

cool place away from direct sunlight (e.g. in a clay pot in the coolest place in the house).• Use them quickly after opening bag. The remaining inoculant should not be saved for use in another day.• Always store inoculants in their original package.• Seeds should be coated with inoculant just before planting.• Do not use inoculant after its sell-by date, as the inoculant may then not be effective anymore.
