Azospirillum brasilense, a plant growth-promoting bacterium, significantly enhances root development and nutrient uptake in crops such as wheat, maize, and rice. This leads to improved plant growth, higher nutrient efficiency, and increased yields, making it a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture."

Azospirillum has been shown to improve root development and nutrient uptake, enhancing crop yields under various conditions (Okon & Itzigsohn, 1995).

Inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense increases mineral uptake and biomass in crops like maize and sorghum (Lin et al., 1983).

Studies have documented up to 29% increased grain production when maize was inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense, particularly when combined with nutrient applications (Ferreira et al., 2013).

Enhanced growth and nutrient efficiency in crops such as lettuce and maize have also been reported, supporting its role in sustainable agriculture (da Silva Oliveira et al., 2023) (Marques et al., 2020).
