Hello and welcome. I am Mary Eliza and thank you for participating in this survey. The survey is part of my Ph.D. project to explore the potential and success of Rhizobial inoculants. Through this survey, I aim to understand farmer knowledge and perceptions about soil microbiome and inoculants.

The survey asks questions about farming details and practices,  soil microbiome and soil inoculants. This survey will take approximately 10 mins to complete. You can choose to leave the survey at any time.
