The use of growth-promoting and potentially nitrogen-fixing (N) bacteria in corn is a viable alternative to increase grain yield, reduce costs and environmental risks. However, the role of Azospirillum brasilense in the process of N utilization by plants needs to be better understood for its efficie...
