Azospirillum brasilense Az39 and Bradyrhizobium japonicum E109, inoculated singly or in combination, promote seed germination and early seedling growth in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.)

Cassán et al. [38] reported that the increase in root biomass favors the exudation of compounds that stimulate the growth of the bacterial population of Azospirillum associated with the roots, which could provide significant amounts of NH 4 + to the plants.

The effects of A. brasilense on development have been reported in maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) [38], and maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [39].

Cassán et al. [38] observed that 3 × 10 8 CFU/ml of A. brasilense promoted root growth of soybean and corn seedlings under greenhouse conditions.
