I planted this field of soybeans about a month ago. The field had been fallow for several years before sweet corn this spring. I used a whole pack of inoculant on the seed - look at those nodules on the roots! I’ll dig up another plant every couple of weeks to check on the progress.
For those that don’t know, these nodules allow the soybeans to fix their own nitrogen (thus not needing nitrogen fertilizer). Bacteria in the inoculant is what causes the nodules to form, so if you haven’t planted legumes in a field in a while - use inoculant!
