Cultures for Legumes and Nonlegumes Warned by USDA
The U.S. Department of Agriculture cautions farmers against using nitrogen fixing cultures for nonlegumes such as corn, cotton, and tobacco, noting they fail to inoculate these crops.

Deep corn cultivation injures roots and lowers yields, so shallow, early cultivation with proper seedbed prep is best.
