Researchers agree that peanuts respond better to the nitrogen fixation provided by Rhizobia bacteria than they do to direct application of nitrogen fertilizer. A lack of peanut-specific Rhizobia in the soil and in close proximity to the emerging seedcan slow the availability of nitrogen to the growing plant, which allows for other problems, such as disease, to occur.An inoculant should be bought fresh each year for maximum viability. Inoc-ulants should be kept completely away from direct sunlight, and are best stored at temperatures from 40 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not freeze the product. Once a package has been opened, use it within 24 hours.
