Formulation of particulate carrier materials used for the culture of microbia inoculants in ways to achieve lower liquid volume application to seeds

摘要

An inoculant pack having at least one porous wall, and housing a particulate material containing microbes. In use, a liquid permeates through the pack walls such that microbes are transferred from the particulate material, such that a liquid inoculant is formed. The inoculant pack may be provided within an inoculation apparatus, such that liquid inoculant is then supplied in a controlled manner to agricultural seed material./SDOA B
