BULEGON, Lucas Guilherme et al. Components of production and yield of soybean inoculated with Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum. Terra Latinoam [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.2, pp.169-176. ISSN 2395-8030.

This study aimed to evaluate the productivity and yield components of two soybean genotypes grown in a greenhouse and inoculated with diazotrophic bacteria of the genera Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum. We adopted a complete randomized block design with four replications in a factorial 2 × 4; factor 1 was two genotypes of soybean (BMX Turbo and Coodetec 250) and factor 2 was four combinations of inoculation (seeds not inoculated but fertilized with 200 kg ha-1 N at sowing, seed inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum; seeds inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense; seeds inoculated with B. japonicum and A. brasilense). At stage R8, the following biometric variables were assessed: diameter collect (DIC); plant height (ALP); number of pods (NVS); number of seeds per pod (NGV); shoot dry mass (MPA); pod dry mass (MSV); yield per plant (PPP); N content in shoots (TNA) and N content in grains (TNG). Dif ferential response of soybean genotypes BMX Turbo and Coodetec 250 and of seed inoculated with diazotrophic bacteria B. japonicum and A. brasilense in plant height and nitrogen in the shoots was observed. The combined inoculation of B. japonicum and A. brasilense seed enhanced the productive performance of soybean genotype in BMX Turbo.
