Inoculants
Our inoculants are formulated from natural, dry peat-based cultures of beneficial bacteria for treating legume seeds prior to planting. Inoculants encourage the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on leguminous plant roots to improve plant health and yield; suppress disease-causing microbes; and accelerate nutrient availability and assimilation. We offer several formulations appropriate for alfalfa, clovers, soybeans, peas, lentils, and other legumes. Easy to use — just shake or stir with seeds before sowing. Note that inoculants have annual expiration dates, so be sure to check the label and use a fresh supply to ensure viability.

Learn why not all pea seed is created equal by reading the Story of 'Sugar Ann' Snap Pea at Johnny's Selected Seeds. Not only are there differences between pea varieties, even seed lots of the same pea variety can vary widely in quality, depending on how the seed crop is grown and managed. To achieve uniformity, or purity, of the seed lot, one must start with a high-quality, uniform batch of seeds — or, as we say in the seed industry, "stock seeds" — to grow the seed crop to a workable size. And, one must also maintain this quality over time. Here's how we do it...
