Abstract:Nitrogen is the most common limiting factor for crop productivity and most maize cultivars require fertilizing. Here we report the possibility of partially replacing the nitrogenous fertilizer in sweet corn inoculated with a native strain of Azospirillum in arid land on the coast of Peru. We examined an agronomic experiment in a crop field of arid soils under drip irrigation in Huacho (Peru) using a commercial variety of sweet corn. The treatments were two levels of nitrogen (90 and 180 kg N ha-1), one or two … Show more
