Field-based assessment of the mechanism of maize yield enhancement by Azospirillum lipoferum CRT1

Abstract Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) of the genus Azospirillum are known to enhance root growth and yield in many plant species including cereals. To probe the underlying mechanisms, correlations between modifications of yield and 6-leaf plantlet characteristics were estimated on maize in...
