Liquid Injection Row Support
A Carbon based concentrate of soluble Calcium and enriched growth catalyst for legumes
LegumeRS is a specially formulated two stage blend of soluble Calcium (to regulate plant Nitrogen and Phosphate assiumilation) and an enriched catalyst designed specifically to support and promote Rhizobia inoculant on the applied legume and nutrient conversion in the root zone. The result is a mix specifically suited to give Legume crops greater N-fixation capacity and nutrient supply than standard inoculation and granular starter achieves.
Why use LegumeRS
- Stand alone legume fertiliser and Rhizobia support in the slot on the seed.
- Accelerated nodulation from soluble Calcium and nutrient substrates.
- Triggers rapid beneficial microbial biomass response around seedlings.
- VAM provides greater foraging capacity for Phosphate and Zinc.
- Inoculant compatible – tank mix with EasyRhiz legume inoculant for good inoculation.
What it Contains
- VAM (Mycorrhizal fungi) to reduce impact of fallow on P cycling.
- Nutrient in a non-salt form buffered with Carbon and enzymes for sustained plant absorption and improved nodulation. MAP can inhibit nodulation due to salt effect on Rhizobium.
- Long Shelf life – minimum 6 months.
- Biologically derived metabolites as an instant soluble plant food source.
- Plant root growth hormones, including indole acetic acid, secondary metabolites, vitamins and amino acids for enhanced plant physiology.
- Soluble ionic Calcium to overcome elevated soil salt levels and to provide greater Calcium requirements of legumes.

Handling & Storage
LegumeRS is a suspension liquid that stores well on farm in shuttles or bulk storage.
- Increased settling will occur with increased dilution.
- Do not store in direct sunlight, or for long periods.
- Agitate prior to use is left for extended periods as some settling of heavier substrate may occur.
- Refer to product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to use, available at www.bionutrient.com.au or by telephoning BioNutrients Head Office on 1800 91 51 91.
