Implication

Field experiment demonstrated improved forage productivity with reduced nitrogen fertilizer in tropical pastures, highlighting Azospirillum and Pseudomonas potential.

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of coinoculation with Azospirillum brasilense and Pseudomonas fluorescens on forage productivity under reduced nitrogen fertilizer rates.
Two-year field experiment in tropical pastures using Mavuno grass.
Evaluation of eight treatments combining microbial inoculation with nitrogen fertilizer application.
Measurements of forage yields across different inoculation and nitrogen levels.
AZO + PSD and PSD + N50 treatments showed the highest forage yields of 9.35 Mg ha −1 and 8.51 Mg ha −1, respectively.
Reduced nitrogen application (50 kg ha −1) maintained yields comparable to full nitrogen fertilization (100 kg ha −1).
Responses were consistent across both growing seasons.
