ABSTRACT Maize intensive cultivation with excessive fertilizer use generates environmental impacts. Plant growth-promoting bacteria offer a sustainable alternative by favoring nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, and phytohormone production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of microorganisms previously recognized as growth promoters in rice on maize biomass and yield. The experiment was conducted under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, in a completely randomized design, with 13 treatments (12 microorganisms and one control). Lysinibacillus boronitolerans (BRM 71995) promoted the greatest increase in shoot dry mass (48.64 %, compared to the control), whereas Acinetobacter sp. (BRM 71990) stood out for root dry mass (217.12 %, compared to the control). For 100-grain weight, Herbaspirillum seropedicae (BRM 71996) increased values by 110.40 %, compared to Bacillus velezensis (BRM 71986). H. seropedicae (BRM 71997) was responsible for the greatest productive gains, increasing the number of grains (57.35 %, compared to the control) and yield per pot (85.14 %, compared to the control).
Background: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world's most important cereal crops, and improving its productivity while reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers has become a major goal of sustainable agriculture. The potential role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a biofertilizer evolved as appropri...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) widely improve plant growth. Siderophore-producing bacteria (SPB) are a valuable PGPR type worthy of in-depth exploration. In this study, five SPB strains were selected as the research subjects. Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate their impact on maize growth in Alfi...
The findings demonstrate the potential of B. aryabhattai and P. fluorescens as plant growth-promoting bacteria capable of enhancing soybean development, with B. aryabhattai showing particular promise for improving plant performance under water-limited conditions.

Abstract Soybean has significant importance in the global agricultural sector. However, yield is often compromised by the low availability of phosphorus in the soil. The inoculation of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria has shown promise in increasing the absorption of this nutrient. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluat...
