What the crop contributes
A well-nodulated legume can add meaningful nitrogen to the rotation. The amount is not a fixed product attribute; it changes with biomass, tissue nitrogen and growing conditions.
Management makes it available
Plan the entire nitrogen sequence, not just planting.
- Select the correct inoculant.
- Confirm nodulation after establishment.
- Estimate biomass near termination.
- Time residue breakdown against the following crop.
Make a conservative credit
Use field measurement or local calibration before reducing fertilizer. Protect against loss when release precedes crop uptake.
