Inoculants: The legume/Rhizobium association
What are Rhizobium?
Rhizobium are natural soil bacteria, that
associate with the roots of legumes to form root
nodules
Root nodules fix atmospheric nitrogen and in
symbiotic association deliver to the host plant
The symbiotic association between legumes and
Rhizobia is highly specific :

Criteria for succesful N-Fixation
Efficient Rhizobium strain → global selection
Optimum carrier substrate for the Bacteria →
selected peat
Sterile Inoculant for :
→ high Bacteria concentration / seed
→ long shelf-life
State-of-the-art fabrication and permanent
quality controls (deriving from scientific Know-
how & good laboratory practice)
Correct storage & application – Inoculant is live
material!

Inoculants: Advanced technologies
INOCULANT FEATURES & BENEFITS
HiStick® • Sterile peat-based formulation is designed
for convenient on-farm application
• Long stable shelf life
• Peat-based formulation with min. 2 x 109
(2 billion) / g of peat
Force 48
NPPL
• Two components: a) concentrated peat
based inoculant; b) an extender polymer
component compatible with the
Bradyrhizobium
RhizoFlo® • Highly concentrated liquid inoculant
offering excellent bacterial counts (min. 3 x
109 /ml)
• Easy application, water miscible and self-
adherent to seeds
HiCoat®
Super
Soybeans
HiCoat®
Peat
Soybean
• Latest technology for pre-inoculation of
soybean seed by seed companies
• Two formulations: peat-base formulation
and liquid formulation
• Does not require extra drying capacity
after application
10 independent trials, Europe, virgin soils, 2005-2010

HERBICIDE FEATURES & BENEFITS
Wing-P®
• Pre-emergent herbicide
• Broad spectrum
Pulsar® • Control of broadleaves and grasses
Basagran® • Post-emergence control of broadleaves
Corum® • Two mode of actions
• Broad spectrum
• Ideal for resistance management
Focus®
• Crop selective
• Effective control of grasses
Several herbicide options for control of tough weeds in soybeans
Fungicides: AgCelence® in Soybeans up to 20% yield increase with fungicide application
Fungicide application with AgCelence
products can bring in average up to
20% yield increase in soybeans
Since 2010 fungicides under brand
AgCelence successfully used in
Ukraine and Russia
BASF is expanding portfolio to
intensify soybean production and
increase yields also in European
Union
