RESUMO

The objectives of this study was to select bacterial isolates of the genus Bacillus in samples of soil form the west region of Sao Paulo state, Brazil, and assess their effect when inoculated in two corns grown in the soil conditions (natural and sterilized soil), utilizing nutritional parameters and of growth of plan in 14 isolates. The bacterial isolates were characterized at Bacillus genus and then selected as fungus antagonists and as producers of plant hormone (auxin) in the laboratory. Besides they were also characterized as the potential for insoluble phosphate solubilization. The maize plants were grown in pots of 5 Kg of soil in a greenhouse environment for 50 days. The assessments made during the conduct of the trial were: height of plants to 29 and 50 days after planting; number of leaves and dry biomass produced deployed to 50 days after planting. None of the isolated not showed phosphate solubilization in vitro. The cultivation of maize in sterile soil provided the greatest number of plant leaves deployed in the 50 days of age. Most of the evaluated isolated bacteria provided some benefit for the growth of maize, since the isolated NGR-1 showed the best performance for the three variables during the maize growth. Six single bacterial (BRG-2, CAS-2, NGR-1, PNP-2, PRP-2, and TAC-2) highlighted themselves as promoters of growth of maize evaluated by the production of biomass for the plant to the 50 days of age in natural soil. The promotion of the maze growth offered by the bacteria may be due to several factors, however the parameters of selection used for the individual can be considered satisfactory.The production of AIA by the bacteria wasnt a parameter for the best performance of bacterial isolates for inoculation of maize.Inoculated plants had a greater increase in the accumulation of nutrients in the aerial part.
