All about biologicals
Inoculation with rhizobia works with all kinds of leguminous plants, such as peanuts, peas, beans, soybeans, chickpeas, and lentils.
Biologicals have mixed modes of action. They may combine crop protection and crop efficiency. First, many act as a crop protectant agent since they suppress pests or diseases. Second, they stimulate the plant to grow healthier, tolerate stress, and ultimately deliver higher yields. “Combined with chemical crop protection agents, biologicals can contribute to fighting resistances and reducing residues,” Casper van Rooijen says.
