Bacteria Plant Conditions Results of addition of bacteria to plant Reference
[99]
Field Average of up to 15% increase in yield for
finger millet
For sorghum, average increase is 19%
Azospirillum brasilense Finger millet, sorghum,
pearl millet
[100]
Tomato, pepper Field Statistically significant increases in plant
growth in two growing years in terms of stem
diameter, stem area, leaf surface area, weights
of roots and shoots and number of leaves
Transplant vigor and fruit yield improved
Pathogen numbers and disease not reduced
in tomatoes or pepper with the exception of
reduction of galling in pepper by root-knot
nematode
Bacillus amyliquefaciens IN937
Bacillus subtilis GB03
Bacillus cereus C4
[101]
Pseudomonas putida R104 Winter wheat Potted plants chamber Two soil types tested under simulated fall
conditions 5 C
Pseudomonas cepacia R85 Response of wheat nutrient uptake to inoculation
depends on soil composition
Pseudomonas fluorescens R104, R105 Grain yield increased by 46–75% in more
fertile soil
Amaranthus paniculatus Field Plant growth and nitrogen content increased [102]
Pseudomonas putida R111
Pseudomonas corrugate, Azotobacter
chroococcum
Eleusine coracana Hypothesized that the growth promotion effect
is due to the stimulation of native bacterial
communities
