Cary, N.C.—Verdesian Life Sciences has added a new liquid inoculant, Primo Power CL™, to its peanut seed enhancement portfolio. It said the product opens the door for more nodules, which provide more available nitrogen to increase the potential number of pegs and pods that are set. “Peanuts that get a faster, healthier start and develop a larger root mass can improve the crop’s chances for reaching its genetic potential for greater yields,” said Kurt Seevers, Verdesian technical development manager. “Its concentrated liquid formulation offers a convenient, lower use rate for more efficient application.” The product is applied in furrow at planting, and the company said it improves root development and stand count. The product is an evolution of the company’s original Primo Power inoculant. The company said its specially selected strains of rhizobia are also proven to help peanuts perform in a wide range of soils and in unfavorable conditions.
