Resumo

Effect of bacterial inoculation of four strain of Escherichia (E1, E2, E3, E4) and five strains of Bacilli (B1, B2, B3 B4, B5) on growth of maize (Zea mays) var EV-6098 was studied at three glucose regimes, viz 0, 1.25, 2.50 mg.g-1 and at three temperatures viz. 25ºC, 37ºC and 39ºC. Shoot growth in terms of shoot length and number of leaves per plant was better at 25ºC than at 37ºC and 39ºC. At 0 mg.g-1 glucose concentration E3, B2 and B3 inoculation while at 2.50 mg.g-1 concentration E3 and B4 inoculations significantly enhanced shoot length ,number of leaves per plant was increased significantly by B4 inoculation at 37ºC and 0 mg.g-1 glucose concentration. All the inoculated strains of Escherichia at 0 mg g-1 and B3 strain of Bacillus sp at 2.50 mg.g-1 glucose level and at 25ºC significantly enhanced root length. At 0 mg.g-1 of glucose concentration E1, E3 caused positive effect on seedling dry biomass at 39ºC.
