Culture Powder Ready For S
Professor E H Garrard of the bacteriology department at the O A C says the culture powder for legume seed inoculation has been produced and distributed about 300 000 times. Cultures are now sold in powder form, stored cool, and should be used soon after treatment. Milton Ontario offers canisters at 25 cents each, enough to treat two bushels of seed. Inoculation is a cheap method to add nitrogen to crop and soil.
