I need to apply microbial strains/inoculant to maize seeds, but I want to know that whether seed inoculation is better or seed-bed inoculation application will be better ？ And also, please tell me that how much amount of strains will I required to apply for seed inoculation as well as for seed bed inoculation? Looking for your valuable suggestions.....
You can actually include those factors in your experiment by applying variable amounts of bacteria to either seeds or seed-bed, and report those results as well :)
The amount of microbial strain or inoculant needed for seed inoculation depends on several factors, including the type of microorganism, the target crop, and the desired outcome.
In general, a higher inoculum density is required for microorganisms that have a lower survival rate or a lower competitive ability in the soil.
It is also important to consider the dilution effect of the inoculant when it is mixed with the substrate or soil.
The optimal inoculum density for seed inoculation can be determined through field trials and experimentation. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific inoculant being used and to adjust the application rate based on the results of previous trials.
Thats what i think .....
