Do I Really Need To Innoculate Peas

I can not find information on pea plants anywhere I tried everything on google and other sites. ?

The garden pea is Pisum sativum.

The pea family are the Leguminosae, named for being legumes. They are the third largest family of flowering plants. They are known for having root nodules that house nitrogen fixing bacteria. This allows the wild types of legumes to grow in very infertile soil since they are supplied with nitrogen by the rhizobacteria. They have 14 chromosomes.

The rhizobacteria used to inoculate the garden pea is Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae

How do peas grow?

In a pod, above ground. Mostly they come from vines, however there are bush varieties as well.

What is the meaning of inoculum?

The microorganism used in an inoculation is called the inoculant or inoculum.

Inoculation is the placement of something that will grow or reproduce, and is most commonly used in respect of the introduction of a serum, vaccine, or antigenic substance into the body of a human or animal, especially to produce or boost immunity to a specific disease.

Should a plant nursery that plans to grow bean seedlings and peas use a sterilized potting soil mix?

Of course! anything that my nursery sells, we used sterilized potting soil mix.
Shame on us if we infected our customers with nematodes, bacteria,fungus, insect larva, virus or weeds!!!!!!!!!!

By the way we do sell both bean and pea seedlings.
Along with any other herb or vegetable that can be planted out in the spring.
Funny, but I find the young corn seedling even stranger than another answer found the bean and pea seedlings!

Plants are capable of using nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?

Many plants are capable of fixing N directly from the atmosphere (legumes). This process usually requires the indirect mediation of soil microorganisms. Perhaps the best example of N fixation is in soy beans. Beans are inoculated with specific N fixing microorganisms prior to planting. Nodules are then formed on the root system which indirectly provide atmosphereic N to the plant.

Want to know about root of tulsi plant?

Tulsi is a widely revered plant amongst Hindus. It is valued for its many medicinal uses but also has religious significance. Beads are produced from tulsi roots or woody stems and made into decorative jewellery and rosaries or malas, thought to protect the body and spirit.

Roots are not commonly used in jewellery as they are often less attractive than wood and not as durable. Other examples of root jewellery in the Collection are from vanilla (Vanilla sp.) and false tulsi (Cicer arietinum). The orris root (Iris florentina) beads, 'issue peas', in the Collection are not for adornment but were placed into wounds to encourage pus formation.

Gums and resins are another plant part with many practical uses. Gum is often mistaken for resin but is actually a water soluble material, whereas resins are fat soluble. Gum comes from cavities in plants and is formed differently to resins which are found in more parts of plants such as pockets and epidermal cells. Gum is formed into beads and dried to make jewellery, such as the gum necklace made from donoburroo (Combretum sp.).

Lac is often mistaken for resin but actually comes from an insect (Laccifera lacca) which feeds on plants and secretes lac or shellac. Some of the main host trees include Combretum quadranglare, Butea monosperma and Ziziphus mauritiana. Cultivated trees are often inoculated to provide lac to be refined for use in plastics, adhesives and printing as well as being formed into beads for jewellery. An edible dye which is used in food and drinks is also produced from lac. Lac is produced in countries such as India, Thailand and Vietnam amongst others, with India and Thailand being the biggest producers. It is now being used for agricultural purposes to coat urea to produce slow release fertiliser.
