Application for legumes

Legumes are characterised by their ability to fix and use atmospheric nitrogen. They achieve this property through symbiosis with nodule bacteria. Each legume species is dependent on a few specific strains of nodule bacteria. The absence of these specific nodule bacteria in many soils often prevents efficient symbiosis and leads to lower yields. DynaSeed® LegumeMaxx offers the solution to this problem:

The DynaSeed® coating is enhanced with species-specific nodule bacteria, molybdenum and algae extract. This intelligent combination promotes nitrogen fixation in four ways:

• The right nodule bacteria are immediately available for effective nodulation.
• The DynaSeed® coating and the algae extract ensure rapid germination and good root development. This quickly creates a large habitat for the nodule bacteria.
• The symbiosis between plant and legume is a complex process that depends on many factors. When the sheathing material is dissolved, an environment is created that favours this process.
• Molybdenum plays a decisive role in nitrogen fixation and thus prevents nitrogen deficiency.

DynaSeed® LegumeMaxx increases nodulation by a factor of 4 compared to the untreated control. The increased nitrogen fixation has a direct influence on yield. On average in 2020 and 2021, DynaSeed® LegumeMaxx was able to achieve an increased yield in the lucerne. In addition, more nitrogen is made available to the following crop. This leads to lower fertiliser costs and a relief of your fertiliser balance!

DynaSeed® LegumeMaxx is available for clover and alfalfa varieties in our COUNTRY mixtures.
