asparagus bean, yard long bean inoculant EL

For the last three years I've had my asparagus beans get what looks like nitrogen deficiency right after planting. The small seedlings turn lime green to yellow and don't look very happy. In the past, I've dumped manure tea and iron chelate on them and they've recovered somewhat. Once they start growing up the trellis, they are completely recovered and deep green.

I think they don't have the right inoculant to fix nitrogen early in the season. I found out recently that I should be using EL or cowpea inoculant instead of the normal bean/pea inoculant. Is there anyway to add EL inoculant to the soil now (seeds sprouted, but aren't climbing yet)? I'd like to help them out if I can.

Thanks!
