Abstract

The production of Rhizobium inoculant technology on a small scale for direct use by small scale farmers marks one of the first uses of cutting edge biotechnology to research the rural poor. Indeed, although the technology is proven to our satisfaction, research in attaining greater cost effectiveness for process, raw materials, and methods of application is continuing even now. The technology transfer process is a collaborative effort between at International and the SVITA Foundation. The researchers at the NifTAL Project pursued avenues which led to practical, cost effective, and scale-neutral technology for the production of Rhizobium inoculant...
