16s rhizosphere microbiome of common bean subjected to nitrogen fertilization and co-inoculation in the Brazilian cerrado

The goal of the work was to investigate how co-inoculation with Rhizobium sp. and Azospirillum sp. (-I or +I), in combination with synthetic N fertilization (-N or +N) affects the rhizospheric community (as well as N-related variables, such as N2O-N fluxes) of common bean over two crop years within a no-tillage crop-livestock system. This study seeks to better understand the impacts of alternative practices (more specifically, co-inoculation) in this crop to achieve a more sustainable agriculture.
