Crop and pasture legumes add enormous value to farmingprimarily through their :
-Ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen
-Weed control
-Wool and meat production.

Thanks to the Centre for Rhizobium Studies we have some of the best strains in the world

Trifolium incarnatum cv Caprera
…and we can successfully grow the new pasture species recently developed in WA

Grain legumes
![Page 11: ALOSCA™ granular inoculant New inoculation technology for grain and pasture legumes Angelo Loi & Steve Carr (Bayclassic)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551bce0f550346be588b52c7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Old technology (peat based)
• Peat inoculants must be stored and transported at 4-6OC
• Best when inoculated onto seed and then sown immediately into moist soil
• Rhizobia die rapidly when exposed to high heat and when exposed to dry soils in southern Australia (>90% within 24hours)
• Rhizobia have sub-optimal performance when mixed with certain seed-applied fertilisers insecticides and fungicides
![Page 12: ALOSCA™ granular inoculant New inoculation technology for grain and pasture legumes Angelo Loi & Steve Carr (Bayclassic)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551bce0f550346be588b52c7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why do we need ALOSCA to inoculate our pasture legumes
• Easy to do (mixing one bag of ALOSCA and one of seed)
• Reduce the risk of decreased rhizobium viability under stressful condition (eg. sowing in suboptimal conditions or dry autumn conditions)
• Be ready to sow when conditions are right• Undersowing and dry-sowing are possible due
the high viability of the rhizobium in the granules (over one year in the soil)
![Page 13: ALOSCA™ granular inoculant New inoculation technology for grain and pasture legumes Angelo Loi & Steve Carr (Bayclassic)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551bce0f550346be588b52c7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
- Often a compromise between disease control (seed applied fungicides) and effective N fixation (conventional inoculation)
- Rhizobia die when inoculated seed is sown into dry soil & this cause a delay in nodulation- compromise yield

Liquid inoculant
• Liquid-based inoculants generally have a shelf-life of less than six months
• Logistics of delivery on a large scale
• Liquid-based inculants have a limited inoculum delivery potential of several thousand cells per seed

Summary
• ALOSCA: viable alternative to conventional inoculation
• Granules remain viable in the soils for extended periods in soils subject to wetting and drying cycles (ie false break)
• Research indicates equivalent nodulation (to conventional ) under optimal conditions- but SUPERIOR under adverse conditions
• Easy to handle
![Page 33: ALOSCA™ granular inoculant New inoculation technology for grain and pasture legumes Angelo Loi & Steve Carr (Bayclassic)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551bce0f550346be588b52c7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Summary cont.
• Option for seed applied insecticides (important for small seeded pastures)
• Current indications are that up to 1000 times the number of cells in ALOSCA are alive at sowing compared with conventional inoculation
• Enables effective nodulation under poor or dry sown conditions
• ALOSCA is compatible with seed applied fungicides

Summary of pasture varieties sown in 2004
![Page 50: ALOSCA™ granular inoculant New inoculation technology for grain and pasture legumes Angelo Loi & Steve Carr (Bayclassic)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/551bce0f550346be588b52c7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Grower survey There is a strong interest in pasture improvement in
Western Australia;
An estimated total area of 1.3 mill ha of wheatbelt and mixed farming areas was sown to pastures in 2004;
Over 50% of all pasture legumes sown in 2004 have been released since 1996 and are derived from the WA NAPLIP/CLIMA programs;
Over 55% of species sown in 2004 were not the traditional species (subterranean clovers and medics)
