Vault® biological seed treatments Fixing nitrogen for legumous crops Legumouscrops need nitrogen through fixation for highest yield potential  Soybeans need approximately 4.5 lbs of nitrogen per bushel, 50‒60% of which from nitrogen fixation  Nitrogen that is not “fixed” is lost to the air, soil or water ® seed-applied inoculants: BASF’s Vault  Bradyrhizobia japonicum is fermented to develop robust rhizobial inoculants  Vault® inoculants improve root nodulation and architecture for more nitrogen-fixation potential  Results include improved crop yield potential, resource efficiency, and long-term nitrogen use options for growers’ sustainability 31
