Pre-Vail® - Capture more nitrogen for improved seedling growth
Nitrogen fixation is a critical component for producing higher yields in alfalfa and other clovers. Pre-Vail® is a ready-to-use, clay-based pre-inoculant containing 3 inoculants designed to improve early seedling vigour through increased root development and excellent nodulation. Pre-Vail® not only contains high levels of rhizobium for nitrogen fixation – 100 million viable cells per gram – but it’s also infused with azospirillum bacteria, an organic biological plant growth promoter.

Application Instructions
Use Pre-Vail® to inoculate only the supported legume(s) found on the label.
Dry Application
Pre-Vail® can be used as a pre-inoculant in seed coating or build-up process. It is important to allow the seed coat to be permeable by oxygen.
Re-Inoculation of Previously Inoculated Seed
Slowly screen seed to shake off excess inoculant material, then re-inoculate with Pre-Vail®, following the recommended application rates and expiration dating.
Inoculation of Seed Mixtures
First, inoculate each legume seed component of the mixture separately, using the appropriate rhizobial strain for each legume. Then, blend the pre-inoculated components together into final seed mixture for bagging.
