Cell-Tech®

Cell-Tech® is a single-action inoculant that contains specially selected rhizobia that can provide effective nodulation to enhance nitrogen-fixation— even in cooler soils — increasing yield potential as planting conditions change.  

If phosphate is limited, Cell-Tech® can be applied at the same time as JumpStart® for improved phosphate uptake. 

Quick Facts

  • Improved availability of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium 

  • Performance in a variety of soil conditions and types 

  • Enhanced nutrient availability, which supports root and shoot growth 

Product Overview

Research shows that phosphate nutrition has a significant, positive impact on nitrogen fixation1. Good phosphate nutrition results in more nodules being formed and more active nitrogen fixation. If phosphate is limited, Cell-Tech® can be applied at the same time as JumpStart®, for improved phosphate uptake.

APPLICATION INFO 

Please read the label before application for complete use instructions. 

PACKAGING & APPLICATION RATES 

Peat Application  

Cell-Tech® peat has its own sticker in the formulation so no additional stickers are required. Apply Cell-Tech® dry to pre-moistened seed, or add water while applying Cell-Tech®, or mix with cool, clean water and apply to seed as a slurry (refer to table). Make sure that the inoculated seed is evenly coated. Inoculate bare seed with Cell-Tech peat up to 48 hours prior to seeding.

Non-sterile Peat Application  

Cell-Tech® NS peat has its own sticker in the formulation. A separate sticker is not needed. Apply Cell-Tech® NS onto seed in the drill box and mix thoroughly until uniformly coated. Layering seed and inoculant while mixing will provide thorough coating of all seeds. Inoculate bare seed with Cell-Tech® NS peat up to 48 hours prior to seeding.

Granular Application 

Cell-Tech® granular should be applied directly with the seed in the seed row using a granular tank for application. Application rates vary according to row spacing (refer to table). 

  • Fill the tank to match or slightly exceed seed requirements 

  • Do not overfill the tank to avoid compaction 

  • Pour into tank through a screen 

  • If augering, please do so at low speeds to avoid damage to Cell-Tech granular 

  • Do not mix Cell-Tech® granular in the same tank with seed or fertilizer 

  • Do not leave Cell-Tech® granular in the tank overnight as condensation can cause lumps to form

Liquid Application  

Pea/Lentil  

Cell-Tech® liquid should be applied directly to pea or lentil seed at a rate of 2.5 fluid ounces per bushel (60 lb.) of seed (75 ml/27 kg) or 2.1 fluid ounces per 50 pounds (63 ml/23 kg). The planting window for Cell-Tech liquid on bare pea or lentil seed is 48 hours.  

Soybean  
Cell-Tech® liquid should be applied directly to soybean seed at a rate of 2.5 fluid ounces per bushel (60 lb.) of seed (75 ml/27 kg) or 2.1 fluid ounces per 50 pounds (63 ml/23 kg) of seed. The planting window for Cell-Tech liquid on bare soybean seed is four days. 

Liquid application

Cell-Tech® liquid can be applied with other seed treatments, but the planting window may be reduced.
