Abstract

The use of rhizospheric bacteria with the
purpose of increasing crop yield, diminishing the limitless
use of mineral fertilizers and chemical products and,
consequently, reducing the environmental contamination, has
been a very common practice in the last decades. Among the
most studied associative bacteria, there are those belonging
to Azospirillum genus, which has become the most promising
diazotroph group associated with grass and other nonlegume
plants. This paper comprises the results and most current
considerations in this respect, for proving that this bacterium
is able to increase important crop yield in different soils and
climatic regions using different strains and plant species; also
this system although complex, has a potential agricultural
utilization.
