S ummary . Treating seedling roots of several plant species with cultures of Azotobacter paspali changed plant growth and development and significantly increased weight of leaves and roots; effects were probably caused by plant growth regulators. Culture supernatant fluids contained indolyl‐3‐acetic acid, at least 3 gibberellins and 2 cytokinins. The added inoculum of A. paspali survived in plant rhizospheres for only a few weeks and no nitrogen was fixed in the root zone of young Paspalum notatum , the grass with which A. paspali is associated.
