During the last 35 years of studies of Azospirillum–plant interaction, over 20 proposals were
suggested for the mechanism of action by which Azospirillum spp., the most intensively …

Because of their ability to transform atmospheric N2 into ammonia that can be used by the
plant, researchers were originally very optimistic about the potential of associative …

For decades, researchers around the world search for strategies aiming at higher
