Meta-analysis of maize responses to Azospirillum brasilense inoculation in Brazil: Benefits and lessons to improve inoculation efficiency

Julierme Zimmer Barbosa et al.

Summary: The inoculation of maize with Azospirillum brasilense has shown significant increases in root mass, N leaf concentration, grain yield, and N in grains. The benefits of inoculation were higher at lower yields and lower N rates, with seed inoculation being more efficient than leaf-spray inoculation.

Enhancing agronomic efficiency and maize grain yield with Azospirillum brasilense inoculation under Brazilian savannah conditions

Fernando Shintate Galindo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the combined effects of nitrogen application levels and Azospirillum brasilense inoculation on maize plant biomass, grain yield, agronomic efficiency, and nitrogen content in plants. The results showed that inoculation with A. brasilense enhanced agronomic efficiency and nitrogen uptake in maize plants, leading to increased grain yield. In addition, the study found that it is possible to reduce nitrogen fertilization levels and increase operating profit with A. brasilense inoculation. Therefore, inoculation with A. brasilense has the potential to improve plant-soil nitrogen management and promote sustainable maize production, with its low cost and ease of application.

Meta-analysis reveals benefits of co-inoculation of soybean with Azospirillum brasilense and Bradyrhizobium spp. in Brazil

Julierme Zimmer Barbosa et al.

Summary: The co-inoculation of soybean with Azospirillum brasilense and Bradyrhizobium spp. has been shown to significantly improve root mass, nodule number, and yield, while also helping to mitigate the effects of water stress on plants. This technology contributes to the sustainability of soybean production by enhancing plant efficiency in various environmental and agronomic conditions.

Co-application of DMPSA and NBPT with urea mitigates both nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate leaching during irrigated potato production

Emerson F. C. Souza et al.

Summary: A study compared the effects of urease inhibitor, nitrification inhibitor, and nitrogen-fixing microbes on potato growth in irrigated soils, showing that nitrification inhibitors can reduce N2O emissions, and the combined use of nitrification and urease inhibitors can decrease N2O and NO3- losses while increasing nitrogen supply.

Responses of Low-Cost Input Combinations on the Microbial Structure of the Maize Rhizosphere for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Plant Biomass Production

Caio Augusto Yoshiura et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the influence of different input combinations on soil greenhouse gas emissions and rhizosphere microbial communities in maize cultivation in Brazil. The IS treatment (inoculant + maize stover) was found to be the most effective in terms of plant biomass production and greenhouse gas mitigation.

Outstanding impact of Azospirillum brasilense strains Ab-V5 and Ab-V6 on the Brazilian agriculture: Lessons that farmers are receptive to adopt new microbial inoculants

Mariana Sanches Santos et al.

Summary: Microbial inoculants or biofertilizers are biotechnological products aimed at replacing chemical fertilizers, reducing production costs, and environmental pollution. Brazil has a long tradition in the use of rhizobial inoculants and has shown impressive results in the application of two plant-growth-promoting strains in various crops in recent years.
