Chickpea
|
Field: liquid culture applied to seed |
Pseudomonas jessenii PS06, Mesorhizobium ciceri C-2/2 |
N2-fixing (C-2/2), P-solubilizing (PS06) |
Plants inoculated with C-2/2, in single or dual inoculation, produced higher nodule fresh weight, nodule number and shoot N content, while PS06 had no significant effect on plant growth. However, the co-inoculation ranked highest in seed yield and nodule fresh weight. |

Pot and field: liquid culture applied to seed |
Rhizobium spp., B. subtilis OSU-142, Bacillus megaterium M-3 |
N2-fixing (Rhizobium, OSU-142), biocontrol activity (OSU-142, M-3), P-solubilizing (M-3) |
In the field, all the combined treatments containing Rhizobium were better for nodulation than the use of Rhizobium alone. Nodulation by native Rhizobium population was increased in single and dual inoculations with OSU-142 and M-3. |

Maize |
Pot: liquid culture applied to seed or soil |
Burkholderia ambifaria MCI 7 |
Siderophore, antifungal activity |
The inoculation method influenced the plant growth: seed-applied liquid culture promoted increase on shoot fresh weight as the control, while soil-applied liquid culture reduced plant growth markedly. |

Pot: liquid culture applied to seed |
Pseudomonas alcaligenes PsA15, Bacillus polymyxa BcP26, Mycobacterium phlei MbP18 |
N2-fixing, antifungal activity (BcP26 and MbP18), IAA (PsA15 and MbP18) |
Bacterial inoculation had a much better stimulatory effect on plant growth and NPK content in nutrient-deficient soil than in nutrient-rich soil, where the bacterial inoculants stimulated only root growth and N, K uptake of the roots. |

Pot and field: liquid inoculant applied to seed |
A. brasilense Ab-V5 |
N2-fixing, IAA |
In pot trials with clay soil, plant growth was increased when Ab-V5 was applied at full dose. In sandy soil, nutrients and Ab-V5 were needed for a significant increase in the maize response. In the field, the grain production was increased when Ab-V5 and N were added, compared to N fertilization alone. |

Pea |
Field: peat powder, granular, and liquid inoculant applied to seed or soil |
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae
|
N2-fixing |
The effects of inoculant formulation on nodule number, N accumulation and N2-fixation were: granular peat powder liquid = uninoculated. Soil-applied inoculant improved N nutrition of field pea compared to seed-applied inoculation, with or without applied urea-N. |

ACC-deaminase |
Rhizobacteria containing ACC-deaminase significantly decreased the “drought stress-imposed effects”, although with variable efficacy at different moisture levels. Strain ACC-5 greatly improved the water use efficiency at lowest soil moisture level. |

P. fluorescens PGPR1, PGPR2, and PGPR4 |
ACC-deaminase, IAA, siderophore, antifungal activity |

Soybean |
Field: granular and peat inoculant applied to seed and in-furrow |
Bacillus cereus UW85 (granular) and B. japonicum (peat) |
Not described |
The inoculation with UW85 resulted in stimulations in shoot dry weight, increased seed yield and seed N content, but the effect was site-specific. The stimulation in growth and N parameters by UW85 treatment was proportionally greater in the absence of B. japonicum inoculation than in the presence of the rhizobial inoculant. |

N2-fixing, IAA |
Inoculation of seeds with rhizobia increased soybean yield by 8.4 %, and co-inoculation with A. brasilense in-furrow by an average 16.1 %. Seed co-inoculation with both microorganisms resulted in a mean yield increase of 14.1 % in soybean compared to the uninoculated control. |

Wheat |
Field: liquid inoculant applied to seed |
A. brasilense INTA Az-39 |

B. subtilis SU47, Arthrobacter sp. SU18 |
IAA, P-solubilizing |
Sodium content was reduced under co-inoculation conditions but not after single inoculation with either strain or in the control. Plants grown under different salinity regimes and PGPR co-inoculation showed an increase in dry biomass, total soluble sugars and proline content, and reduced activity of antioxidant enzymes. |

Wheat and maize |
Field: peat and liquid inoculant applied to seed |
A. brasilense Ab-V5 and Ab-V6 |
N2-fixing, IAA |
Inoculants increased maize and wheat yields at low N fertilizer starter at sowing by 27% and 31%, respectively. A liquid inoculant containing a combination of the strains proved to be as effective as peat inoculant carrying the same strains, in both maize and wheat. |
