Inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense associated with silicon applied to correct soil acidity and nitrogen rates in corn and wheat crops /

Orientador: Marcelo Carvalho Minhoto Teixeira Filho / Resumo: Alternative management practices are needed to minimize the need for chemical fertilizer use in non-leguminous cropping systems. The use of biological agents which can fix atmospheric nitrogen and promote plant growth has shown potential as an option to improve soil nutrient availability to grass crops. In recent years, studies investigating the effects of silicon (Si) have increased substantially, especially in grain crops. This increased interest in Si is likely due to the beneficial effects of Si application on plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, reflecting on greater plant development. This research was developed to investigate if inoculation of corn and wheat with Azospirillum brasilense associated with Si can enhance nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and improve plant nutrition and yield, leading to a greater economic profit. The study was set up in a Rhodic Haplustox under no-till system, located in Selvíria, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The field trial took place during the 2015/16 (November-March), 2016 (April-September), 2016/17 (November-March) and 2017 April-September) seasons, with corn and wheat crops in sucession (spring/summer and winter seasons for corn and wheat, respectively). Treatments were tested in a randomized completely block design with four replicates, arranged in a full factorial design 5 × 2 × 2 and included: i) five N application rates, as urea source, applied in side-dressing (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1); ii) two liming sou...
