| ABSTRACT The inoculation of sweet corn seeds with Azospirillum brasilense in association to nitrogen fertilizer may be an agronomic alternative for increasing the crop yield and net income of plant growers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the different doses of inoculant (Azospirillum brasilense) associated to the nitrogen fertilization management on the phenotypic traits of one sweet corn hybrid in summer growing periods, under supplemental irrigation, in the Northwestern Paraná state, Brazil. The experiment followed the complete randomized block design with four replications. The treatments were: i) five inoculant doses (0.0, 50, 100, 150 and200 mL∙ha–1) containing Azospirillum brasilense; ii) two N doses (0.0 and 30.0... |
