RE: Austrian winter peas question
Strutter -
I have no experience with AWP but the soybeans I just planted do not come pre-inoculated - in fact the paperwork I got with the inoculant said, the inoculant was only active 24 hours after mixing with the seed. I would imagine Austrian Winter Peas do not come pre-inoculated either.
If this is a planting you plan to keep doing year to year - I would definitely inoculate - I would also inoculate if I had reason to suspect that the soil was loe in Nitrogen (low, weed growth - especially if lower than observed averages for other areas) -...... Otherwise - if I was planting a small area, in the fall with the hope of attracting a few deer - I would not inoculate.
