Nodu™ ALF
Alfalfa · Rhizobial inoculant. The nitrogen your Alfalfa can make for itself — elite, region-matched rhizobia for strong nodulation from sowing.
Field-proven
- +10.4% · 52 sites; Fixes ~150–250+ kg N/ha per year; builds soil N for the rotation.
- Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti.
How it works
Live rhizobia colonize the root, form nodules, and reduce atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) to a plant-available form throughout the season, lifting early vigor, biomass, and yield. Because rhizobia are host-specific, each legume needs its own compatible strain, selected for local soil conditions and confirmed against local populations before deployment.
Where it fits
Nodu™ delivers the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, the symbiotic partner the crop needs. It is built to work with Orvan™, a rhizosphere-coordination consortium applied alongside or on top of the rhizobial inoculant that strengthens the nodulation environment, and with Vigor™ for roots and phosphorus.
How to use
At sowing: Nodu™ ALF seed coat or slurry (Sinorhizobium meliloti); Vigor™ in-furrow or on seed; Orvan™ as the coupled program. Re-inoculate at each reseeding and on high-pH or low-rhizobia soils.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it with my rhizobial inoculant and fungicide seed treatment?
Yes. At sowing it co-applies with your Nodu™ / rhizobial inoculant and starter NPK. Apply it last, after any fungicide seed treatment; avoid copper fungicides, strong alkali (pH > 9) and chlorinated water (> 2 ppm).
Which formulation should I choose for Alfalfa?
We match the format to your crop, planter and conditions — granule banded with base fertilizer, liquid in-furrow, or an on-seed treatment. Tell us your setup and we’ll recommend the right one.
Do you ship internationally, and what documents are included?
Yes. Each shipment comes with the technical data sheet and a safety data sheet (granule); phytosanitary and import documents are prepared per destination market. Contact us for your country.
How should it be stored, and what is the shelf life?
Store cool, dry and out of direct sunlight; do not freeze liquid forms. Shelf life is formulation-dependent — see the data sheet for the exact figure by format.
Is the product safe and non-GMO?
Yes. All strains are naturally isolated, non-GMO and handled as low-risk (BSL-1). The product is registered with China’s MARA and meets the heavy-metal limits of GB 38400-2019.
