NITRAGIN 
BENEFITS OF INOCULATION 
Inoculated Legumes take nitrogen from the 
air to supply the plant, resulting in faster 
growth, earlier maturity and increased crops. 
Inoculated legumes take up more nitrogen than 
the plant itself requires, the surplus remaining 
to the benefit of future crops. Inoculated Le¬ 
gumes develop larger roots systems and there¬ 
fore reach the immense stores of potash and 
phosphorous in the sub-soil.
